This match needs to happen at this year's SummerSlam

#1 Creates an intriguing and poetic path for Taker to ride off into the sunset

The ending to WrestleMania 33 saw The Undertaker take off his gear and put it in the middle of the ring. The Deadman could be seen almost coming to tears, as he raised his hand in the air and descended down the rampway in an incredibly emotional visual. It was the perfect sendoff for one of the greatest Superstars in the history of this business. But it was all for nothing, as Taker went on to have several matches after being put down by Roman Reigns.

WWE has another chance here to let The Phenom ride off into the sunset, by being bested by Drew McIntyre. This could lead to Taker wanting another shot at his dominant foe, this time at Survivor Series, where The Scottish Psychopath beats him again. Thus, Taker realizes that he can't do it anymore, and leaves for good. The story ends at Survivor Series, where it started way back in 1990.

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.
