#4 Security stops Rob Gronkowski from entering the ring at WrestleMania 33

Mojo and Gronkowski at WWE WrestleMania 33, moments after the former's victory in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

At WWE WrestleMania 33, the pre-show saw 33 men battling it out in the squared circle to determine the fourth Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner. In the end, it seemed like Jinder Mahal would win the whole thing. Mahal got cocky and verbally attacked the now-former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was sitting at ringside and cheering for his friend, WWE Superstar Mojo Rawley.

Gronk left his seat and proceeded towards the ring but was immediately stopped by a security guard. The guard wasn't filled in on the spot and seemingly took Gronkowski for an unruly fan who was trying to cause trouble. Other personnel quickly approached the guard and let Gronk enter the ring.

He went inside and shoved Jinder, aiding Mojo in winning the annual free-for-all. Thankfully, everything went ahead as planned in the end, and Gronk celebrated with Mojo following the latter's victory.

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.
