Jinder Mahal suddenly returned to the conversation amongst the WWE Universe starting from the Day 1 episode of Monday Night Raw. The Rock also confronted him on that night to put him back into the spotlight. A week later, he was in line for a WWE World Heavyweight Title shot against the champion Seth Rollins in a one-on-one showdown, a move that was questioned by AEW President Tony Khan.
Jinder Mahal certainly has what it takes to be a WWE Champion as he had her time with the belt in the past and during that reign, his stats proved to be something hard to beat. A post from Reddit’s Squared Circle has been spread on the internet and it pointed out that the only single WWE title reign by any Indian-origin WWE Superstar outlasted the individual WWE title reigns of 29 former champions.

Jinder Mahal won the WWE Championship at Backlash 2017
Jinder Mahal’s shocking championship run started in Backlash 2017 when he defeated Randy Orton at Backlash PLE of that year. That title reign lasted for 170 days which stands as a notable achievement in comparison to some of the legendary names in WWE history. The above-mentioned must have had more time with the title, but it took them multiple reigns to surpass the number scored by the Modern-Day Maharaja.
IWC member nWoWolfpacTV also previously tweeted out complete house show numbers for the former WWE champions and the results were surprising enough to reveal the truth. Eddie Guerrero ranked in last place, but Jinder Mahal was ahead of Seth Rollins who is considered a true workhorse in the business,
“For those interested, domestically at house shows Seth Rollins Universal title reign drew an estimated 53,350 fans over 16 shows for a 3,334 average. This is worse than Jinder Mahal’s WWE title reign which averaged 3,497 on a weaker brand.”
