Tonight at WWE Starrcade, the originally scheduled Last Man Standing match between Bobby Lashley and Rusev didn't take place, as Lana cut a promo stating that Rusev was banned due to the restraining order against him. Thus, Lashley won the match via forfeit. Things didn't end here though, as Kevin Owens came out and insulted the duo, followed by a match that saw Rusev interfering and attacking Lashley, giving him a DQ victory over Owens. Here's what Owens had to say to Lana before the match:

You know what Lana, what do you want? You want Bobby to ignore me right now? Bobby, ignore me, like Lana has been ignoring that stupid Russian accent of hers that she had for five years. Or you could also ignore me like everyone has been ignoring your career since the two of you got together.
The rivalry between Rusev and Lashley has been going on for a while now. With the scheduled match between the two not coming to fruition tonight, fans can hopefully expect the match to happen somewhere down the line, at a future event.

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.
