“So Much for Sending That Extra Pyro…”: Jinder Mahal Reacts After His World Title Dreams Shatter Against Seth Rollins on WWE Raw

The center of attraction for RAW tonight was the main event bout between Seth Rollins and Jinder Mahal, where Rollins had to defend his title against the ‘Modern Day Maharaja’.

Jinder Mahal laments using the “extra Pyro”

Years after losing his WWE Championship to AJ Styles, Mahal had a golden opportunity to claim the ultimate prize tonight on RAW. However, fate wanted Rollins to carry on his title reign at least till the Royal Rumble. After tasting the defeat, Mahal took his reaction to X and wrote this: “Welp, so much for sending that extra Pyro for my Punjabi Celebration…”.

The Modern Day Maharaja did, however, give Rollins a tough fight but ultimately didn’t get his desired outcome, but a prospective transformation was evident. With this, we are nearing the CM Punk vs Seth Rollins feud, which could center stage at WrestleMania 40. But what happened in the main event of RAW tonight?

Tonight’s main event could have been a game-changer for Jinder Mahal. Nearly after six long years, he got a title shot and indeed gave tough competition to Seth Rollins. We saw a close match; however, Rollins defeated Jinder via pinfall to win this match. Mahal did in fact hit Rollins with a Khallas after the interference of the Indus Sher, but as the latter kicked out, it was evident that the WWE wanted to extend his title reign.
