It's clear as day here that WWE is pushing Kevin Owens as a modern-day Stone Cold Steve Austin. A recent report confirmed the same, and fans don't seem to have a problem with it. Earlier this year, Austin gave his blessings to Owens when WWE wanted the latter to use the Stunner. Now, Owens has started using the move on a regular basis, and the fans can't get enough of the visual.

A segment involving Austin and Owens, with the duo fending off a couple of villains, would garner a massive pop. Unfortunately, Austin can't wrestle at this point, so the only way for him to give Owens a rub would be by beating down a couple of villains alongside him and then sharing a beer with him, in what could be a "passing of the torch" moment.

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.
