#5 Shane McMahon beats The Miz and Roman Reigns in three consecutive PPV bouts

There was a time when Shane McMahon used to get heavily cheered by the WWE Universe. His World Cup trophy win at WWE Crown Jewel was a head-scratcher, and things only went downhill from that point on. Shane went on to turn heel for the first time in years and met The Miz at WrestleMania 35. As luck would have it, Shane pinned The Miz in front of 80,000 shocked fans.

The two met again inside a steel cage at Money In The Bank, where Shane stole another victory. To top it off, Shane went on to defeat possibly the biggest Superstar of this era, Roman Reigns, at WWE Super ShowDown! No one would have imagined a year ago that Shane would get such a huge push in 2019, and would beat the likes of Roman Reigns and The Miz.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra.

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.
