Last year, The Fiend defeated Drew McIntyre in two dark matches on WWE RAW, and this was it for the duo in the ring. A year later, McIntyre is the biggest face in the company and holds the WWE title. Things have certainly changed a lot and it's high time we get an actual feud between McIntyre and RAW's newest employee, The Fiend. Both these Superstars have never engaged in a feud before, but the stars have finally aligned for the same.
No matter if McIntyre wins or loses to Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell, he should kick off a rivalry with The Fiend somewhere down the line. Bray Wyatt has had a history of kicking off rivalries by interfering in major matches. He could target McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell and help Orton win the belt, thus starting a rivalry that fans have been wanting to see for a long time now. McIntyre is one of the most over Superstars in WWE at the moment, and a feud against The Fiend will only help him get more over with the WWE Universe.

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.
