Bradshaw's tag team run with Ron Simmons as A.P.A. was well received, but he was never seen as a main event player. The duo competed in a Fatal Four Way Tag Team match at WrestleMania 35, which was won by Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty.
After 'Mania, Bradshaw separated from Simmons and came out with a completely new gimmick. The tough brawler was now a genius millionaire. He came out to the ring in a limousine, wore expensive clothes, and had an arrogant smirk on his face.
JBL was pushed to the Moon in 2004, as he won the WWE Title at The Great American Bash from Eddie Guerrero. He went on to successfully defend the title against the likes of Booker T, The Undertaker, and The Big Show.

JBL finally lost his title to the fan favorite John Cena at WrestleMania 21, and never won it back again.

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.
