The Rock's return broke several WWE records and fans are excited to see him more in the coming months. However, a massive match might be in the making as a former World Champion teased coming after The People's Champion.
On the Day 1 edition of WWE RAW, Jinder Mahal returned to the red brand. The Modern Day Maharaja was not who the fans expected when the management advertised the return of a former WWE Champion. Nevertheless, Mahal was interrupted by The Rock.
The two exchanged words, which led to The Great One closing the segment following The People's Elbow. Speaking to Gaelyn Mendonca on WWE India, Mahal spoke about his encounter with The Brahma Bull and said this won't be the last time that the two will share the ring.
"There I was speaking the truth, and out comes The Rock, The Great One. And I've never heard a reception like that ever in WWE. That was the loudest I've ever heard from the fans and what a moment. You know, I grew up watching The Rock, he's one of my favorites and to be in the ring with him. Unfortunately, he gave me The People's Elbow, but I've a feeling this won't be the last time that The Modern Day Maharaja is in the ring with The Rock." (From 4:08 to 4:40)
He also teased coming after The Great One.
"As I said earlier, this is not the last time that I'll be seeing The Rock, I have a feeling." (From 5:24 to 5:30)
The Rock praised Jinder Mahal following WWE RAW
The Rock had an electric return to the promotion which kick-started the year after an encounter with Jinder Mahal. In the end, The Great One closed the segment after taking out Mahal with The People's Elbow.
After the show, The Brahma Bull was seen interacting with other talent such as Rhea Ripley and had kind words for the current top stars in the promotion. He also praised Mahal with some kind words following their segment.
"I am so boundlessly grateful to get out there and not only connect with the audiences but also get out there in the middle of the ring and rock and roll with whoever I'm dancing with. The guy in there tonight, Jinder Mahal. The guy is a stud. He looks like a million bucks. It was great to mix it up with him. Dropping those People's Elbows on him. It was a really, really special night," The Rock said.
Last year, he had a segment with Austin Theory alongside Pat McAfee on Friday Night SmackDown.
