What happened to Jinder Mahal? Imagine being WWE Champion in 2017 and then dying a slow, agonising four year death as an act until finally topping it off with some rap in 2021. That's been Jinder's fate - his biggest moment, an angle with former running buddy Drew McIntyre, didn't even reference their shared history in 3MB.

Crazy.

There was next-to-no point in feuding the pair if their past wasn't going to be properly explored. Instead, WWE had Mahal hide behind the towering Shanky and Veer for a spell, then lose in less than five minutes at SummerSlam. His entire return has been a miserable failure, and it hasn't even helped others.

Shanky looks like a tool by acting like WWE's latest giant idiot, and Veer has moved on to something else that already seems to be fizzling out before it even gets started. Christ, Jinder used to be a serious heel! Those days are over.
