The Rock returned to WWE on the New Year's special episode of Monday Night RAW: Day 1. While The Brahma Bull teased a showdown against his cousin Roman Reigns, another name seems to have his sights set on the megastar.
The star in question is Jinder Mahal who also made his return to WWE programming on RAW: Day 1. The Modern Day Maharaja was interrupted by the Hollywood star who went on to lay him out with a Spinebuster and a People's Elbow.
During a recent interview with Sony Sports Network, Mahal reflected on sharing the ring with The Brahma Bull before calling him out for a match "anytime in India."
"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. I want to issue a challenge to The Rock. Anytime in India, you can step into the ring with The Modern Day Maharaja," said Jinder Mahal.
