Brock Lesnar and Hogan
John Cena and Brock Lesnar resumed their 2012 rivalry on the road to SummerSlam 2014. Cena was the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at the time and The Beast was determined to go to great lengths to win the belt. Mere days before the event, WWE celebrated Hulk Hogan's birthday on RAW, which saw a string of legends and Hall of Famers appearing alongside Hogan. Lesnar came out with Paul Heyman and crashed the party.

He confronted Hogan, and uttered the words, "Party's over, Grandpa!" It was later revealed that Lesnar's words were completely unscripted and it was The Beast himself who came up with the line. Hogan was clearly upset at what had happened and later expressed his anger over the promo.
It’s not cool brother. I know this is all entertainment. You know we’re supposed to have fun with it but when he starts throwing my name around, with my wife and my kids, it’s crossing the line.
As was expected, Lesnar didn't respond to Hogan's comments. He went on to squash Cena at SummerSlam to win the WWE World Heavyweight title.

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.
