#3 Randy Orton

John Cena and Randy Orton have had one of the most intense rivalries in WWE history. The two made their way to the main roster at around the same time, back in 2002, and are good friends in real life. On an edition of After The Bell, Orton spoke about learning a lot from the WWE legend.

And John Cena. God, I hate saying it, but I learned a lot from that [expletive]. I really did. Talk about slowing down and breathing and listening to the people. He was a master. He was a fuc***g ninja at listening to the crowd.

Cena and Orton were on different brands back from 2003 to 2005. A while after Cena was drafted to WWE RAW, the two kicked off a rivalry over the WWE title. They resumed their feud several times over the next few years. Cena went on to make it big in Hollywood, and bagged blockbuster movies, while Orton is still doing well for himself in WWE and is one of the most respected veterans in the business.

Randy Orton currently seems in line for a shot at Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship. If you aren't aware, McIntyre had expressed his desire to work with The Viper a few months ago. You can check out the same in the video above.

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.
