#4 Defended the company against a dear friend's comments

Rollins recently got into a Twitter war with NJPW's Will Ospreay when he defended WWE's product on Twitter, calling it "the best pro wrestling company on the planet". Rollins kept at it for a long while and received flak from Twitterati, wrestlers, and dirtsheets, but he didn't budge one bit.

Later, Rollins spoke about Jon Moxley's criticism of WWE and went on to throw shade at one of his closest friends for speaking ill of the company that helped him become a megastar. When one goes to such lengths to defend the company they're working for, it is a clear sign that they are someone who can be trusted to be the face of the company for a long time to come.

There's a big possibility that Rollins was instructed by the higher-ups to hit back at Moxley's comments, but the fact that he actually went ahead with it speaks volumes about him genuinely caring about WWE and wanting others to respect what it produces on a weekly basis without ever stopping.

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.
