After a week of buildup and social media chatter, Jinder Mahal got his World Heavyweight Championship shot on Monday night.

Mahal challenged World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins in the main event of last night's Raw. Though Mahal got plenty of help from interference, the show ended with Rollins retaining his title.

Indus Sher (Veer & Sanga) were at ringside and interfered on Mahal's behalf during the match. There was a moment where Indus Sher gave Rollins a cheap shot while the referee was distracted by Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre. Priest thought about cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase while Rollins and Mahal were both down, but McIntyre prevented the potential cash-in from happening. Mahal hit a gutbuster after the cheap shot, but Rollins was able to kick out.

Mahal then got an even closer near fall. Indus Sher distracted the referee again and struck Rollins with the MITB briefcase. Mahal dropped Rollins with the Khallas, but Rollins kicked out just in time.

The referee finally ejected Veer & Sanga from ringside, Rollins avoided a second Khallas, and he connected with a stomp on Mahal to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

A match between Priest and McIntyre is set for next week's Royal Rumble go-home edition of Raw. Since failing to win the World Heavyweight Championship at Raw Day 1, McIntyre has blamed Priest for trying to cash in during his match against Rollins.

A face-to-face segment with Cody Rhodes and CM Punk will also take place next Monday.
