It began when Punk interfered in a Tables match, helping R-Truth defeat John Cena in a huge upset. As an exhausted Cena looked helplessly, Punk sat on the ramp and went off on WWE, the McMahon family, John Cena, and a bunch of WWE legends like The Rock and Hulk Hogan.

As Punk was about to reveal a secret regarding WWE's Anti-bullying campaign, his mic got cut off. The promo kicked off the Summer of Punk, resulting in him becoming one of the longest reigning WWE Champions of the modern era.

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.
