5 biggest changes WWE has seen since SummerSlam 2018

#4 The character transformations of The Miz and Kevin Owens

Last year, Kevin Owens and The Miz were two of the most dastardly heels on the WWE roster. At SummerSlam 2018, while Owens lost a match to Braun Strowman, with Strowman's Money In The Bank contract on the line, The Miz used a pair of brass knuckles to put down his longtime rival Daniel Bryan.

Now, The Miz is one of the biggest babyfaces on Monday Night Raw and is set to face Dolph Ziggler after the latter superkicked Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels on a recent SmackDown Live episode. Owens is also a full-fledged babyface and is being pushed by WWE as this generation's Stone Cold Steve Austin, complete with the Stunner. Owens will face Shane McMahon with the stipulation calling Owens' quitting his job if he loses the match. It's always interesting to recall how hated current babyfaces were not a long while ago, with The Miz and Owens being the biggest examples of the same.

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.
