Back in 2002, Kurt Angle issued a challenge to any Superstar to come down to the ring and face him. Out came John Cena, in his in-ring debut. The match ended up impressing the higher-ups and the rest is history.
Angle defeated Cena, but it didn't come easy for the Olympic gold medallist. Post-match, Cena offered to shake Angle's hand, but Angle smirked at him and left the ring.
17 years later, WWE has an opportunity to end Angle's career by paying homage to that incredible moment when Angle and Cena met for the first time. Angle defeated Cena in his first match. Cena should pin Angle in his last match for this journey to come full circle and give Angle one of the greatest sendoffs in WrestleMania history. The following night on Raw, Angle can give a final speech, thanking the fans for always supporting him and ride off into the sunset.

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.
