WWE Superstar Jinder Mahal is eager to step into the ring with The Rock once again, after their collision on this week\’s episode of Raw. 

The Brahma Bull returned to WWE programming during this week\’s Day 1 edition of Raw to an eclectic response from the crowd. WWE had been teasing the return of a former WWE Champion in the days before the show, which at first appeared to be Mahal. The Modern-Day Maharaja ran down the United States before the return of The Rock, who had some choice words for his fellow former WWE Champion. The Rock then laid out Mahal with a spinebuster and his People\’s Elbow. 

Jinder Mahal Challenges The Rock

The Rock may have handily dispatched of Mahal on Raw, but now the 3MB alum is ready for another shot at the Great One. Speaking to WWE Super Dhamaal, Mahal has praise for his own efforts on Day 1 Raw. 

I had many good points before Rock even came out. I was feeling confident until I was on the receiving end of, you know, Rock gave me a spinebuster. Up until then, I really believed that I had The Rock. You know, I had his confidence choked. I could see the look in his eyes. You know, I am the Modern Day Maharaja, he may be The People’s Champion, they were cheering him on. For someone who had no respect from the crowd, I think I did really well.\

Mahal then made his intentions clear and challenged the Brahma Bull to a match. 

\”I want to issue a challenge to The Rock. Anytime in India, you can step into the ring with The Modern Day Maharaja.
