5 oddest Superstar pairings in WWE history

#1. Kurt Angle joins Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose

Bank in 2017, WWE had to make last-minute changes to the TLC PPV card, after Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt were deemed unable to compete due to medical issues. This resulted in the WWE Universe getting a dream match in AJ Styles vs Finn Balor. Additionally, WWE announced that Hall of Famer Kurt Angle would be replacing Reigns to join his Shield brethren in the main event of the show.

Angle came out in full Shield gear alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, in what later became a hilarious meme, thanks to Angle's awkward mannerisms during the entrance. The trio ended up having a great match against Braun Strowman, Kane, The Miz, and The Bar. In fact, this temporary version of The Shield managed to win the bout and close the show on a high note.

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.
