This led to several confrontations between The Animal and the self-proclaimed Wrestling God. On an episode of Raw, Teddy Long and Eric Bischoff tried to get Batista to sign contracts for their respective brand's title matches. After pondering on it for a while, Batista decided to sign the SmackDown contract, as Triple H watched in sheer joy.
Suddenly, Batista signaled that he was staying on Raw, by turning his thumb down on The Game. A beatdown followed, with a Batista Bomb on Triple H on the table. The crowd went into a frenzy on this long-anticipated face-turn and Batista went on to win the WWE Title at WrestleMania 21.

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.
