WWE has three of the most popular women striving for the Raw women's title at present.

Ronda Rousey is a former UFC champion and has been booked like the female equivalent of Brock Lesnar. She has proved her mettle in pro-wrestling over the past year, ever since she debuted at last year's Wrestlemania.

Charlotte Flair has been at the center stage of the women's revolution. The daughter of the legendary Ric Flair, wrestling is in her blood as she has put on some amazing performances in the past, against the likes of Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch.

Becky Lynch was stuck in the women's mid-card for a long time. Her cheerful babyface character didn't do her any favors. Her heel turn, complete with that iconic shot of her bloodied face on Raw, single-handedly changed the main event of Wrestlemania and she's making waves with "The Man" gimmick.

This is the perfect recipe for the main event that could close the show, instead of Rollins-Lesnar, a match that had actually happened before and isn't being built as heavily as the triple threat match.

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.
