Predicting Where All Current WWE Champions Will Be In 12 Months
2. WWE Champion - Jinder Mahal
Nobody guessed what was coming for Jinder Mahal 12 months ago, but everybody can see what the next year will hold for the reigning WWE Champion.
The Mahal experiment has not worked. SmackDown is suffering with him at the helm, and he will drop the belt in the next couple of months, never to be seen in the main event again.
He can’t be blamed for this failure, because he simply wasn’t ready for this level of spotlight. He was still growing into his character and a slower build may have worked.
Mahal is a decent talker and has worked hard on his work ethic and physicality, but the WWE Championship should not be taken lightly, and Mahal belongs nowhere near it.
Few would have complained if his push had taken him to a lengthy United States title reign, and that is about the level that he will find himself at next year.
