3 On-screen WWE proposals that were accepted, and 2 that were rejected

#4 Paul Heyman proposes to AJ Lee (rejected)

AJ Lee's love-triangle storyline with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan saw her becoming the RAW General Manager after leaving Daniel Bryan at the altar during their on-screen marriage on RAW 1000. Lee began exacting revenge on both Punk and Bryan as soon as she assumed the role of the RAW GM. On an episode of WWE RAW, Punk berated Lee in the ring, but Paul Heyman had other things in mind.

He got down on one knee and proposed to AJ Lee as the thousands of fans in attendance cheered for Heyman. Heyman stated that together, he and Lee would become the most influential couple in WWE history, and would rule the company.

Lee, though taken aback at first, soon regained her composure and hit Heyman with a hard slap, before leaving. Lee stepped down from the position of GM on the October 22 episode of RAW and soon got involved in a storyline with John Cena. Her stint in WWE lasted for three more years. She retired soon after WrestleMania 31 in 2015 and hasn't made a return to the ring since then.

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.
