The rivalry between Shane McMahon and The Miz kick-started way back when Shane won the World Cup trophy at Crown Jewel. They went on to win the tag team belts, lose them and finally lose the rematch, which led to Shane turning heel for the first time in more than a decade.
The Miz has turned multiple times throughout his WWE career, and the same can be said about Shane. But when the WWE Universe sees thinks of The Miz, the first thing that comes into the fans' minds is a cocky, obnoxious heel.

On the other hand, Shane is an embodiment of a babyface. He has been getting cheered consistently by the fans ever since he made his shocking return to the WWE back in 2016. He has always backed up his words with his high-flying moves inside the squared circle, and his high-spot maneuvers are always a hit with the fans.
Imagine the kind of reaction this match would get, now that the roles have been completely reversed. Shane's explanation this past week on SmackDown proved that he is more than comfortable with being a heel. A win over The Miz at Mania would only help his new persona going forward.

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.
