As can be seen in the picture above, the old blue design has made way for a black and red one. Callihan won the World title on the October 25, 2019 tapings of Impact, by defeating Brian Cage inside a steel cage. Soon after Callihan won the belt, Tessa Blanchard rushed to the ring and confronted him.

The Impact Wrestling World title belt will be defended at the upcoming "Hard To Kill" PPV, which will emanate from Dallas, Texas on January 12, 2020. Callihan will take on Blanchard in an Intergender Match. This will be a history-making occurrence, as the match is going to be the first instance of a woman challenging a man for the promotion's World title belt.

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.
