The Rise and Fall of Jinder Mahal in WWE

Join us on a journey through the highs and lows of one of WWE's most intriguing Indian figures; Jinder Mahal. In this video, we take a look into Mahal's meteoric rise in WWE, from his debut, to become a member of 3MB with Drew McIntyre, to his shocking transformation into the Modern Day Maharaja. We explore how his unexpected WWE Championship win at Backlash 2017 sent shockwaves through the wrestling world and challenged conventional notions of what a champion should look like.

Jinder Mahal didn't really had a rise. He just got randomly pushed and then randomly dissapeared

As an Indian, I can confidently say that Jinder's popularity in India, despite being a WWE champion, has not made significant headlines or generated better numbers for WWE in India. Stars like Undertaker, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and Randy Orton are much more famous than him. If you were to ask the majority of Indians, they would have heard of The Great Khali but not necessarily of Jinder. In India, powerhouse stars tend to become fan favorites, and the concept of using heel tactics does not sell very well here.

The recent CVV revealled him to he SUCH a sweet and humble guy.

I think he's too happy to please and willing to go along with the company plans, doesnt fight for himself or his chances enough.

If they took away the firebrand "IM INDIAN" gimmick and maybe give a mouth peice manager, I think he could be a top star. However he's pushing 40, and just been released... not impossible but its very uphill from here.

Good luck to him though.

They should've built him up after that promo with The Rock and his match with Seth Rollins. But I guess he'll comeback better than ever! #NeverHinderJinder

[LSesshoumaru]

I literally just met him a couple days ago. Super nice guy. He was enthusiastic about taking a picture too

[billyc]

2/3 members of 3MB became WWE champion!

If im jinder rn I'd reflect on everything from 2011 to now and do what most won't dissappear for 1 year return as a monster debut in AEW by attacking Hook with the mic in my hand saying who tf is Hook

Jinder’s WWE Championship reign lacked any kind of a story, and that was the problem. It’s not the kind of thing WWE should do often (in fact, once is probably enough) but the ‘jobber got lucky’ angle could have been really interesting, especially if they’d written it as going to his head and making him believe he’s far better than he was. The reign would then be ended by having an arrogance-driven Jinder challenge AJ Styles, only to be beaten fairly easily, and then have Jinder come to see that he was wrong. It would have been a great character arc, but it was the late 2010s and ‘wtf just happened?!?’ was the main animating principle of wrestling.

He looked good
Can wrestle
But due to bad bookings people didn't connect with him

[ReginaldRobinson-rf]

Jinder wasn’t a bad wrestler @ all. I would like to see him in TNA or AEW.

[SpammytheHedgehog]

2017 was Jinder Mahal's best year.

[xiondFirst]

I'm glad he got the WWE championship. It may have not been the best run. But he's successful than 90% of the roster because of it.

[kimberlyhall]

It’s not Jinders fault at all. He did his best with what he got dealt with! He has all the makings of a star, he just got treated badly in my opinion.

[xkovacsx]

If they would've built him slowly like Drew McIntyre he would've been a believable champion. He was another example of Vince trying to insult fan intelligence, and nobody bought the BS.

[AnthonyMcqueen]

He's part of the lineage of the WWE championship that's about it.

[berserkworkentertainment]

Maybe if they wouldn't have kept giving him the foreign heel who hates americans gimmick and if he didn't always have backup, he would've been a good upper card act. There was this comment I found on another video saying that even though he wouldn't have been the next top guy, he would've been a good rival/build up heel for the next top guy. He was always a solid act and he was underrated in the ring.

[ronjeremy]

They fucked up not giving him a dominate stable when he was world champion like JBLs Cabinet.
The Singh twins were scrawny jobbers

[Sammyhez-bjjb]

the modern-day Maharaja king jin Jin will be back #daddy NEVER HINDER THE GINDER

[SSD]

He had everything in him especially the character, shame wwe didn't write a good script for him
