#2 Queen Sharmell and King Booker (King Booker's Court)

Booker T and his wife Sharmell were together on the WWE SmackDown brand for a while, and the duo turned heel during this run. At Judgment Day 2006, Booker T defeated Bobby Lashley in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament. Soon after, Booker T had a coronation ceremony, where he was given the moniker of King Booker, while Sharmell was anointed as his queen.

The group also consisted of Finlay and William Regal. Soon after the faction was formed, King Booker became the #1 contender for Rey Mysterio's World title. He defeated Mysterio for the belt at The Great American Bash 2006, after Chavo Guerrero turned on Mysterio and attacked him.

Booker went on to hold the title for months on end, with Finlay and Regal aiding him in non-title as well as championship matches on numerous occasions. He finally lost the title to Batista at WWE Survivor Series 2006. Around this time, Regal and Finlay both turned on Booker on separate occasions, thus disbanding the group.

Finlay went on to team up with Booker in several matches following the end of the faction. In the end, Booker and Sharmell were the only ones left in the stable. They were released by WWE in late 2007.

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.
