#3 Vince McMahon in tears as he embraces Shane McMahon

The road to WrestleMania 32 saw WWE giving the fans one of the biggest surprises of the year, as Shane McMahon made his return to a thunderous pop after a long hiatus. Shane went on to confront his father Vince. One thing led to another, and a Hell In A Cell match was made official for WrestleMania 32, pitting Shane against The Undertaker. At the event, Shane tried his best to put down The Deadman inside the structure that he had made famous. This included a leap from the top of the cell, which unfortunately didn't connect as The Undertaker moved out of the spot at the very last moment.

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.
