4 legendary WWE/WCW moments that were ruined by fan interference

#2. A fan shows off his physique before the main event of WrestleMania 23

WrestleMania 23 was the most profitable event of all time for several years, before WrestleMania 28 came along that was headlined by The Rock vs John Cena. The match that closed the show pitted John Cena and Shawn Michaels for the WWE Title. As the referee was about to begin the match, and was checking Michaels' gear for a foreign object, a fan entered the ring.

He immediately proceeded to take his shirt off and display his physique, which wasn't something to boast about, to begin with. The referee quickly took the fan out and handed him to security personnel. As the fan was taken away, Michaels waved at him in a funny bit. The two Superstars went on to have a 30-minute contest, which saw Cena come out on top in the end.

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.
