His last title reign in WWE was with the WWE 24/7 Championship. After Madusa had won the title during the RAW Reunion episode in 2019, she threatened to put the belt in a trash can. The Million Dollar Man came out and won the title by buying the 24/7 Championship from his fellow WWE Hall Of Famer.

Zain ensures his work is reliable and accurate by verifying the information through multiple credible sources. He aims to provide ample context and details in his articles, creating a pleasant reading experience.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.

If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.

When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
