AJ Styles and The Undertaker put on a memorable match at WrestleMania 36
The Boneyard match pitting AJ Styles and The Undertaker was lauded by critics as well as fans. Having a Boneyard match was the right thing to do at that point for two major reasons. WrestleMania didn't have an audience this year, and The Undertaker was way past his prime at that point.
The match allowed him to entertain the fans without taking any bumps that could possibly lead to injuries. The Undertaker finally rode off into the sunset at Survivor Series 2020, in what was dubbed as The Phenom's "Final Farewell". The Undertaker's career kicked off at Survivor Series 1990, and it was only fitting that it ended at the same event 30 years later.

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.
