#4 Kofi Kingston

Although the WWE title victory at WrestleMania 35 was an incredibly cool moment for Kofi and The New Day, his reign hasn't exactly moved the rating meter on the blue brand. He will face Randy Orton at SummerSlam, with the WWE title on the line.

This is the same Randy Orton who won the World title for the first time in his career, at SummerSlam 2004, in Toronto! To top it off, he was heavily cheered by the fans in attendance that night, despite being a member of the heel faction, Evolution. Now, The Legend Killer will return to Toronto 15 years later as The Apex Predator and is again challenging for the top title. Despite Kofi being one of the biggest underdogs of all time, and a genuinely loved character, he just might get booed by at least some sections of the crowd at SummerSlam.

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.
