The next night on Raw, Batista interrupts an irate Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. He states that he has finally defeated Triple H, but there's one more guy who needs to be put down.
Batista challenges Brock to a match, turning babyface in the process. The buildup needs to be slower than most marquee matches, with The Animal and The Beast locking horns at Summerslam 2019.

The match was teased way back in 2014 and the fans were ecstatic to see the two face off in the ring. Five years later, this match could still garner huge buyrates for WWE.

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.
