This week on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins made his way out to the ring to cut a promo and he talked about how he’s made the WWE World Heavyweight Championship the most important title in the industry. Unfortunately for Seth he was interrupted by the one and only Jinder Mahak.
Jinder Mahal said that Seth Rollins prides himself on being a workhorse champion, but he has overlooked a former WWE Champion. Jinder reminded Seth Rollins that he’s beaten Randy Orton then questioned again why he’s been overlooked.
The Modern Day Maharaja ordered Seth Rollins to look him in the eyes then said he has his attention for the first time. Seth Rollins told Jinder he’s right, everyone has been overlooking Jinder Mahal, but they’ve been doing it on purpose. Rollins said he admires the fact that Jinder showed up after The Rock fried him last week.
Seth Rollins told Jinder that he doesn’t respect the fact that he got in his face. The Visionary dared Jinder Mahal to take a swing at him, but Jinder refused. Rollins said, “That’s what I thought. Same old Jinder.”
Rollins turned around and Jinder attacked him from behind. Eventually Seth fought back, but Jinder fought back too. Seth Rollins managed to knock Jinder Mahal out of the ring to end the segment.
It was later confirmed that Jinder Mahal will challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on Raw next week.
