After Goldberg's match against The Undertaker at Super ShowDown, Riddle posted a video on Twitter, calling Goldberg the absolute worst wrestler in the business. The tweet was deleted soon after, but was followed by a meme that showed Riddle slapping Goldberg, and another video where Riddle made fun of Goldberg's moveset.

It's being reported that WWE officials are happy with Riddle's attacks and he won't be getting any heat for the same. Riddle later also stated that Goldberg "is unsafe and a liability".

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.
