Baszler is one of the most destructive forces to ever have stepped foot in a WWE ring. She enjoyed a lengthy and dominant NXT Women's title reign, and put down Superstars one after the other, before finally being defeated by Rhea Ripley.

Asuka, on the other hand, is one of the most decorated Champions in the history of NXT and her undefeated NXT Women's title reign turned her into a bigger star than she was, before heading to WWE years ago.

Although Asuka's star fizzled out a bit soon after she made her way to the main roster, The Empress of Tomorrow has managed to hold her own and has held the WWE Women's Tag Team titles for a long while at this point in time.

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.
