#1 Roman Reigns

The 'Big Dog' Roman Reigns hasn't stepped foot inside the squared circle since his dark match with King Corbin on an episode of WWE SmackDown, way back in February. Reigns decided against putting himself at risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, and there's no word as to when he will be making a return to the ring.

Reigns recently posted an album on his official Instagram handle, and he is looking absolutely jacked! He can be seen working out in the gym in a video included in the album. Reigns' cousin The Rock, who has one of the most impressive physiques in Hollywood, reacted to the transformation and stated that he is proud of Reigns. The Rock also had a bit of amusing advice for his cousin. Reigns was scheduled to take on WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg at WrestleMania 36, with the latter's Universal title on the line. He pulled out of the match mere days before WWE WrestleMania, and was replaced with Braun Strowman, who went on to defeat Goldberg to win his first Universal title.

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.
