Bill Apter shared some interesting thoughts this week
Veteran journalist Bill Apter has named his pick for the most hated wrestler of 2023, and this is a legendary former WWE Superstar.

The name in question is Christian Cage, who is currently in AEW. Before his stint in Tony Khan's company, he was a major performer in the Stamford-based promotion. His tag team run with Edge was particularly famous for their chemistry and entertaining promos.
In AEW, however, the 20-time WWE champion has taken on the role of a heel perfectly. His promos usually involve insulting his opponent's family. This, according to Bill Apter on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, is why he deserves being called the most hated wrestler of the year, as suggested by Dr. Chris Featherstone.

Christian is the reigning TNT Champion in AEW, a title he won by defeating Darby Allin and Luchasaurus in a three-way match.
In a much-anticipated clash between him and Adam 'Edge' Copeland, he retained his belt after an assist from Shayna Wayne.

Shubhajit is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on WWE news. He has a Master's degree in English and has been working in his current role for over 2 years.
A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
