5 forgotten Superstars you won't believe won a Championship in WWE

#4 Jillian Hall

Jillian was a mainstay in WWE's developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling, for around 3 years, before making her way to the main roster in 2005. Initially, she aligned with the villainous trio of Melina, Johnny Nitro, and Joey Mercury. Soon after, Jillian was approached by former WWE Champion JBL, who had just suffered a loss to Rey Mysterio and wanted to repair his image. Jillian was feuding with popular WWE Diva Stacy Keibler at the time, with the feud ending on an episode of WWE Velocity, where she defeated Stacy in the latter's final WWE match.

By 2009, Jillian had become an active competitor in the Divas division. The August 3, 2009 episode of RAW saw Jillian teaming up with Beth Phoenix in a winning effort against Mickie James and Gail Kim. Around two months later, Jillian defeated James to win her first and only WWE Divas Championship. The reign didn't last long and she lost the title belt to Melina. WWE released Jillian on November 19, 2010.

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.
