Reigns began breaking records as soon as he came up to the main roster. Along with his Shield brothers, he went on to win six consecutive 3-men tag matches before succumbing to The Wyatt Family at Elimination Chamber 2014. He eliminated 4 opponents in a traditional Survivor Series match in 2013, followed by breaking Kane's long-standing record of the most Rumble eliminations.

Although he wasn't the first to break The Undertaker's undefeated streak at the show of shows, he will forever be remembered as being one of only two wrestlers who managed to do the unthinkable and pin The Undertaker in the middle of the squared circle at WrestleMania.

And one can't help but agree with this, looking at the extremely short list of superstars who have managed to do it, compared to a massive list of stars who have been WWE champions till date.

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.
