Truth and Vince McMahon
The 2016 Royal Rumble match was won by Triple H. Fans still talk about one particular moment from the match to this day, involving R-Truth. He came out believing that it was a Ladder match, and took out a ladder from under the ring and set it up to a chorus of cheers. Truth was quickly eliminated, but the moment will live on in fans' minds as one of Truth's absolute best. Truth later revealed that Vince McMahon "burst into laughter" when he pitched the idea to him.

He was like, ‘What?’…‘What if I had a ladder underneath the ring for the Rumble?’ and he looked at me and burst out laughing, and said, ‘We’re doing it.’

The Ladder spot is just one of several hilarious moments of R-Truth's WWE career. He took it up a notch last year when the WWE 24/7 title was introduced and the fans got to witness some incredibly creative title changes over the next few weeks.

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.
