Up #4: WWE exit

Soon after WrestleMania 30, The 3MB got into a feud with Los Matadores, resulting in an incredibly entertaining match between El Torito and Hornswoggle at WWE Extreme Rules 2014, dubbed as a "WeeLC match". McIntyre left the WWE following this feud, with the promotion releasing him on June 12, 2014.

Looking back now, McIntyre's WWE exit was the best thing that could have happened to him, and it helped him reinvent himself in other promotions and come back better than ever.

Down #4: Alliance with Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley

In late 2018, Constable Corbin got into a feud with Braun Strowman, after costing him the Universal title at WWE Crown Jewel. Soon, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley joined Corbin and took Strowman down on several occasions.

The trio later feuded with The Shield and lost to The Hounds of Justice at Fastlane 2019. McIntyre sneak-attacking Strowman and the villainous trio ganging up on him simply didn't suit The Scottish Psychopath's tough, intimidating character.

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.
