Shawn Michaels is dubbed by many as the greatest wrestler to ever step foot into the squared circle. He has competed in a whopping 17 Survivor Series matches throughout his legendary career as a WWE Superstar. Michaels has won seven of those and has lost ten matches at Survivor Series. The Heartbreak Kid's most memorable and controversial victory will always be the one against Bret 'The Hitman' Hart at Survivor Series 1997.
Another big win for Michaels came months after he returned to WWE in mid-2002. Michaels defeated Triple H, Chris Jericho, Booker T, Kane, and Rob Van Dam to win the World title in the first-ever Elimination Chamber match. A year later, Michaels gave one of the greatest performances in the history of WWE, when he tried his best to win a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination match for Team Austin. In the end, a bloodied and battered Michaels failed to win the match, thus leading to Austin leaving WWE. Michaels went on to lose a WWE title match to Randy Orton at the event, five years later.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
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.
