Triple H revealed as the mystery attacker

#2 Triple H turns on Shawn Michaels

After WrestleMania 18 was done and dusted with, Shawn Michaels returned to WWE. Soon after, he aligned with Triple H and convinced him to choose Monday Night Raw over SmackDown. The Game agreed and the two reformed D-Generation X. On an episode of Raw, the duo came out sporting DX gear. Just when the two were about to perform their signature DX taunt, Triple H hit a Pedigree on Michaels.

Michaels was mysteriously attacked later in a parking lot, and his head was put through a car window. A segment on Raw saw Michaels showing a CCTV footage from the night he was attacked, revealing that the mystery attacker was Triple H. The Game thus turned heel on his best friend and the two Superstars went on to have a "Non-sanctioned Match" at SummerSlam, which Michaels won.

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.
