#2 Roman Reigns is nowhere near the title picture now

After pursuing the Universal title for a long while, Roman Reigns finally managed to dethrone Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2018 to win the title. Reigns had failed to win the title at WrestleMania 34. This time though, he succeeded in putting Lesnar down by hitting a thunderous Spear on The Beast and ending his title reign at 504 days.

It seems like WWE has finally put their focus on building up stars other than Reigns. The Big Dog, although currently a part of a major "mystery attacker" storyline, is out of the title picture and is a part of the blue brand. Reports are stating that Reigns will face Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam, and it's certainly refreshing to see him away from the main event, after he dominated the title picture for years on end.

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.
