Hey look, it's Alicia's MMC tag-team partner, and he had just as rough a 2018 as she did.

Acting like some sort of spiritual yogi and being creamed by Brock Lesnar do not a good year make. For Mahal, everything post-shock WWE Title reign in 2017 has been awful, and he's gone from WWE Champ to out his depth on Raw. Whispering "Shanti" over and over is hardly the apex of creativity.

When he wasn't saying that, talking to anyone who'll listen about his WWE Title success or the fact his match against Brock Lesnar at the 2017 Survivor Series was put on the scrap heat, Jinder was sucking hard in feuds with Roman Reigns, Finn Bálor and others. Literally nothing he did in 2018 helped ease his pain.

Mahal's push to the top of SmackDown should have counted for more than glorified jobber status on Raw. No, he wasn't ever going to sustain that, but he could probably expect to be doing more than breathing exercises and putting over R-Truth.
