3. Jinder Mahal

Complete with renewed drive, determination and the body of a Greek Adonis, Jinder Mahal hauled himself up by the boot straps from jobber to WWE Champion in 2017. It was an impressive rise, and something different even though he faced criticism from all corners. Since then, it's all been downhill.

"Shanti"? We can think of another word beginning with 'sh', and it's not complimentary of Jinder's 2018.

This phoney meditative routine is mid-90s WWF Action Zone fodder, not the work of an ex-WWE Champ, and it's not going to do Mahal much good in the long run. He's also been smashed by Brock Lesnar in throwaway Raw segments, dragged Roman Reigns down during their short feud and had a totally unmemorable run as US Champion.

In less than one year, Jinder has gone from someone who could deservedly hang around the upper-card pack on SmackDown to a toilet-break character on Raw. So much for the flagship show; on Mondays, Mahal means less than ever.
