At WrestleMania 35, Seth Rollins accomplished the goal that he had set for himself after winning the Royal Rumble match, when he defeated Brock Lesnar to win the Universal title in front of 80,000+ fans. The two continued their feud further down the line, with Lesnar cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase on Rollins at Extreme Rules.

Mere days after losing his Universal title to Brock Lesnar, Rollins gave an interview to The Independent and proceeded to heap praise on his arch-rival.

He goes, and he can go. For a guy who has been through what he's been through in his life; from his teenage years and collegiate wrestling, his WWE schedule and UFC schedule, he's a competitor.

The dude is a fighter and he brings it, every single time, trust me - I've been in there and I know what those suplexes and knees feel like.

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.
