Ever since then, Regal has been a mainstay in WWE. Regal was as an active wrestler in WWE for the better part of the 2000s and won several titles. He bagged the Tag Team belts on four occasions, alongside the likes of Lance Storm, Tajiri, and Eugene. Regal also won the King of the Ring tournament in 2008 by defeating Hornswoggle, Finlay, and CM Punk on the same night.

In December 2013, Regal lost a match to Cesaro in NXT, which turned out to be his last hurrah inside the squared circle. Despite an illustrious career, Regal never managed to get hold of the top prize.

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.
