#3 Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth

Back in 1985, Randy Savage made his debut in WWE and soon introduced Miss Elizabeth as his on-screen manager. The duo soon became one of the most popular acts on WWE TV, and Savage steadily climbed up the ladder towards the ultimate goal: the WWE Championship. Elizabeth was by his side when he won the WWE title at WrestleMania 4. The association ended a year later, and he replaced Elizabeth with Sensational Sherri.

Savage and Elizabeth reunited at WrestleMania 7, following his loss to The Ultimate Warrior. In real life, Elizabeth and Savage were married. They tied the knot in 1984 and remained together for eight years. Their on-screen wedding was promoted heavily by WWE for SummerSlam 1991. Savage and Elizabeth later reunited for a short while in WCW, before she turned on him and joined forces with Ric Flair. She later aligned with Savage again and the duo had a brief feud with DDP and Kimberly. After a short run with Savage, Elizabeth again left him and joined nWo Hollywood.

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.
