BRIEF PREVIEW:

India's own Jinder Mahal and the WWE legend Triple H are all set to headlined the WWE Live 'Supershow' at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi today.

Jinder has touted the battle with Triple H as the biggest match of his career and in a conversation with IndiaToday.in, he said this will be a test he is putting himself through.

"He's (Triple H) a legend. The Game, The King of Kings and I need this match to test myself. I need to see how far I've come. I need to test myself against the measuring stick. That is The Game Triple H. I need this match, not only to prove to myself but also the WWE Universe that I am the greatest WWE champion of all time," he added.

However, he was quick to add that Triple H will also receive big support from the fans but he hopes they support him just a bit more.

"The support is going to be the deciding factor, Triple H is very well conditioned, he's very well experienced but I believe I can match Triple H strength-to-strength, technique-to-technique, speed-to-speed. The deciding factor is going to the WWE Universe. But people also love and respect Triple H. So it's not gonna be like they are going to boo him. They're going to cheer him also. But I'm hoping they're going to cheer for me a little bit louder," he said.

WWE had earlier planned a title match between Jinder and Kevin Owens but the Modern Day Maharaja lost his title to AJ Styles after which WWE changed it roster.

Triple H challenged Jinder for a clash of titans and the Modern Day Maharaja was not going to back down.

Jinder has warned Triple H of his invincibility in front of his own people while the WWE veteran shot back saying, "in my world Jinder, there is only one true king, one King of Kings and all will be humbled before him, including you. I will see you in New Delhi Maharaja."

Apart from the mega clash, RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss will fight with The Boss Sasha Banks. Finn Balor will be up against Bray Wyatt, Kane will face the Monster Among Men Braun Strowman. The show will feature a six-man tag match between The Shield and Sheamus, Cesaro and Samoa Joe.
