5 incredible backstage WrestleMania moments and the stories behind them

#4 Becky Lynch and Vince McMahon share a special moment

Becky Lynch was competing in the first-ever Women's WrestleMania battle royal at the 34th edition of the event. A year later, she had become arguably the biggest Superstar in the company and was headlining WrestleMania alongside Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. Lynch pinned Rousey to win both the RAW and SmackDown Live Women's titles in a history-making moment, as this was the first time in WrestleMania history that women had headlined The Show of Shows.

When all was said and done, Lynch went backstage and was greeted by none other than the Chairman himself. Vince McMahon snuck up on Lynch and the two had a quick light-hearted chat. The Man had worked hard for years on end to reach where she was at the time, and McMahon's short cameo in the end only made things better. Vince McMahon still believes in Becky Lynch as a top star, judging by the fact that she has yet to lose the RAW Women's title that she had won at 'Mania.

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.
