"When I was drafted to SmackDown, I wanted to make sure that it was the Women's division to watch, and it became that. And then, for some reason, I was sidelined for a long time, and I was just frustrated, because I knew that I had done everything right, I knew that every match that I had gone into, I had given a 120%."

"I knew that I didn't stop thinking about it, didn't stop working for it, every time I went to the gym, I was training as hard as I possibly could, so I would get back on top, but I wasn't necessarily getting the opportunities."

At SummerSlam, Becky Lynch turned on Charlotte Flair, and the fans cheered for her like never before. WWE soon turned her into a babyface, and the era of The Man kicked off.
At WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch defeated Flair and Ronda Rousey in the very first Women's main event in WWE history to become a double Women's Champion.

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.
