Jinder went from jobber to WWE Champion basically overnight, and his rise to the top of WWE has been a very hot topic among fans over the past few months.

Jinder Mahal is set to defend his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura at SummerSlam, so it’s possible that Mahal will be dropping the belt at the big event.
