18. Jinder Mahal

Well over a year removed from his disastrous WWE Championship run, Jinder Mahal has comfortably settled into the role he'll occupy for the rest of his days with the company: a lower-midcard heel.

He'll never be in such a spotlight again. Now, his job is to put babyfaces over on their journey up the rankings, which is a much more appropriate use for his limit skillset. This reduced importance makes him entirely more palatable than when he was on top, the Singhs are effective stooges, and his bewilderment at Kofi Kingston's 2018 escape spot was joyous. Let's just hope he doesn't fart this year's bout up with all those restholds.

Chances: LOL.
