When CM Punk delivered his legendary pipe-bomb promo on an episode of Monday Night RAW in 2011, he mentioned how he was incredibly upset with The Rock headlining WrestleMania 28 while he wasn't, despite deserving the same.

The 28th edition of WrestleMania featured The Rock and John Cena in the main event, while the WWE title match between Punk and Chris Jericho was placed second to last.
Did you know a top WWE Superstar just wrestled outside the company? More details HERE
Punk wrestled The Undertaker at next year's WrestleMania, but again failed to make it to the main event. Cena and The Rock headlined this time as well. By the time WrestleMania 30 rolled around, Punk had grown tired of his booking, and decided to leave the company.
At WrestleMania 30, Punk was scheduled to wrestle Triple H, but Punk's exit led to plans getting changed drastically. Daniel Bryan wrestled Triple H instead, and went on to win the WWE World title in the main event of the show. Punk hasn't wrestled in a WWE ring ever since, and is currently working for WWE Backstage as an analyst.

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.
