The former WWE champion received a rousing ovation from the crowd and following a heated exchange, he hit Jinder with a People's Elbow. While WWE has not announced any future engagement for The Rock, Jinder has challenged the superstar to a match in India.  During a recent interview with Sony Sports Network, Jinder said that he wants to face The Rock in India.

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

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," he further added.
