Many aren't aware that both Rinku and Saurav had participated in the WWE Dubai Tryouts in 2017, which ultimately led to their WWE signing. The international-level tryout that took place at the Dubai Opera House, saw 34 young guns from 18 countries showing off their skills over a period of four days. Participants included both men and women, with their areas of expertise ranging from strongman competitions, bodybuilding, and martial arts, to collegiate wrestling, boxing, and CrossFit.

Here's what Rinju Singh had to say about how they learned to get used to the spotlight.

It is not difficult for us to pick up the physical part of the business as we both have experience in sports. But, performing in front of a packed crowd is a whole different experience. When we started out, we used to be extremely nervous but with time, we have grown accustomed to the spotlight.

It's not a secret that the skill set, personalities, and background of Rinku and Saurav complement each other very well, and it is certainly a match that was meant to be, when it came to performing in WWE.

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.
