Dana Brooke and Batista's Twitter exchanges have been the talk of the town lately

Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated recently interviewed SmackDown Live Superstar Dana Brooke, who discussed a variety of topics in regards to her career. Brooke talked about her latest Twitter exchanges with WWE veteran Batista and opened up on how she met him for the first time.

I’ve known Dave for a couple years, especially when my ex was bodybuilding. Dave was big in the fitness and bodybuilding scene, and that’s how we met. I’ve always respected what he’s accomplished in WWE and in the movies, and I was quite surprised when he tweeted at me. I’m a very private person, so it was a little shocking for me that everything was out there. But it’s so awesome that people have been so supportive.

Batista recently announced on Twitter that he is single, which resulted in a long string of Twitter exchanges between The Animal and Brooke. Brooke later revealed on WWE's The Bump that she and Batista were set to go out on a date. WWE later incorporated this real-life exchange into a storyline involving Brooke, Drake Maverick, and a returning Elias. Brooke even amusingly threatened Maverick that she would unleash Batista on Maverick if he doesn't stop making advances on her.

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.
