It was kind of like that in NXT with me. I don't understand why you sign someone that has so much charisma as a unique talent, just to conscript them to working the exact same style as everybody else. You don't sign a diamond to get them to stand in as a circle, and when people are looking for a diamond, you don't get confused when you've got a bunch of circles and no one really cares.

Ad revenue from Youtube videos?

According to 'Da Meltz and Bryan Alvarez (credit: multiple times they've mentioned it on their radio show) WWE doesn't really get that much revenue from YouTube, Twitter and Facebook videos -- however, a lot of younger fans are more likely to watch WWE through those means instead of watching an entire RAW or SDLive.

Sorry to be so vague there, but I was only half listening when my friend was explaining it to me. Probably has something to do with it. Maybe Guru Dave can clear this up.
As far as I know, Jinder Mahal's WWE Championship victory did receive some coverage from the India media. While not as popular as The Great Khali, he does enjoy some level of popularity with the general audience who tend to invest in the kayfabe narrative.

The term "Maharaja" comes from Sanskrit and loosely translates to "King of Kings" or "High king". The reason why the WWE Network isn't popular in India is because Ten Sports broadcasts (literally) all WWE programming including PPVs and Network specials for free.

YouTube ads (and internet ads in general) are also targeted to specific locations... so ads that people see in the US pay way more than ads people might see in India
