Matt Hardy
Soon after he made his AEW debut, Matt Hardy went backstage and taped some promos and vignettes. Fans might remember that current AEW Champion Jon Moxley cut a backstage promo as well, moments after he made his shocking debut at Double Or Nothing in May 2019.

Hardy said that he talked with backstage personnel and pithed ideas for promos, to which they responded positively, instead of 'Well, we've got to ask so-and-so, and then we have to ask so-and-so, and then he has to ask Vince.' Hardy said that it felt refreshing to not have any constraints on him.
#6 He described the framework of AEW

Hardy stated that there's an outline that is followed in AEW: where do we want to go, what we would like to do to get there, and how do you suggest we get there. The rest of the work is done by the talent themselves. Hardy dubbed this as 'magic', and "the beauty of this business".

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
