In 2011, WWE Superstar Randy Orton appeared on the 98KUPD's Real Rock radio show and made offensive comments targeting female wrestler Kelly Kelly.

He didn't mince his words while airing dirty laundry about Kelly and named WWE Superstars who "slept around" with her. Orton faced severe backlash from the WWE Universe over his comments and took to Twitter to apologize to Kelly Kelly:

Kelly Kelly had enough of Orton at that point and shared a cryptic tweet soon after. Here's what she wrote in the tweet:

"The best way to fight stupidity, is by ignoring it."

She quickly deleted the tweet, and the issue was never brought up again. Orton was way out of line with his comments about Kelly Kelly, and many fans called for his suspension at the time. Over the years, Orton has grown as a human being and has acknowledged his past actions on various occasions.

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.
