#1 Randy Orton tells Shane McMahon's kids that their dad is fine

At WWE Survivor Series 2016, Randy Orton was a part of Team SmackDown that defeated Team RAW in a 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series match. At one point in the match, Shane McMahon prepared to hit Roman Reigns with a Coast to Coast, but was met with a devastating Spear while executing the move.

The official soon declared that Shane needed medical assistance, and he was eliminated from the match as a result. While the paramedics were taking Shane away, many fans noticed that Randy Orton approached Shane's son and wife and consoled them in one of the most wholesome moments in WWE history.

Although Shane couldn't do much for his team due to being taken out of the match following the thunderous Spear, Team SmackDown eventually won the match and Orton had a lot to do with the victory. The final moments of the bout saw Orton sacrificing himself and taking a Spear from Reigns, which was meant for Bray Wyatt. This gave Wyatt enough time to hit Reigns with a Sister Abigail and win the match for his team.

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.
