#3 The Four Horsewomen battle in a Fatal Four-Way match (NXT TakeOver: Rival)

This is a unique case, as the above match can be considered as one of the greatest performances of any of the four competitors involved. All four women proved on this night why they deserved to become the top stars of the women's division, which they did after making it to RAW/SmackDown. Charlotte Flair came in as NXT Women's Champion, with Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, and Bayley aiming to win the belt.

A series of near pinfalls left the fans astonished and on the edge of their seats. Flair gave her absolute best on this night, and so did Becky Lynch and Bayley. It was Sasha Banks though, who came out victorious in the end. After hitting a Crucifix on Charlotte, Banks pinned her to become the new NXT Women's Champion, thus marking an end to one of the greatest Fatal Four-Way matches the NXT crowd had ever seen. All four women would go on to become four of the biggest women's wrestlers in WWE, with Becky and Charlotte headlining WrestleMania 35 in the first women's main event in the show's history.

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.
