Ambrose recalled an incident while talking with Jericho, which saw a writer explain to him that he would be getting rabies shots in a promo to innoculate himself against the fans, garnering him heel heat. He told the writer that he hated the promo. Later, Vince learned that Ambrose didn't want to do the promo. He met him and told him that the promo was good and would help him get tons of heel heat.
The segment was another black mark on Ambrose's waning WWE career, and didn't help his fledgling heel turn one bit. According to Ambrose, he was being fed goofy promos like this for a while at that point and he had become tired of it. Eventually, the heel turn flopped and he was turned babyface during his final months in WWE.
Safe to say, with the benefit of hindsight, they should have just scrapped this when Ambrose complained.

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.
