At WrestleMania 33, Bayley managed to retain her Raw Women's title by defeating Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Nia Jax in a Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match. Soon after, Bayley lost the title to Alexa Bliss at WWE Payback. She later became the #1 contender for the title and was set to face Bliss at SummerSlam for the same, but an injury took her out of action.

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.
