The former ECW Champion stated that the entire situation is crazy and added that he feels bad for the likes of WrestleCon and High Spots.
Chavo recalled that Vince McMahon considered canceling the show following Eddie Guerrero's untimely death back in 2005. McMahon, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H approached Chavo and the WWE Chairman pondered on canceling the ensuing show. Chavo added that he told McMahon to keep the show going as Eddie would want it to happen for sure.

"Vince is always, 'The show must go on.' The same thing happened when Eddie passed away. I was in the hallway of his hotel room and here comes Vince, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels. We're all talking and he was like, 'What should I do? Should I cancel?' I go, 'Absolutely not. Eddie would want the show to go on, for sure.'"

Eddie passed away on November 13, 2005, due to heart failure. The RAW and SmackDown shows following his death continued as planned, but the weekly storylines were suspended for that week and several Superstars worked matches while being out of character.

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.
