Vince has changed major Mania matches at the last minute

#2 Seth Rollins cashes in

Roman Reigns faced Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 31. The original plans were for Reigns to leave the stadium with the championship. But as usual, Vince changed his mind at the last moment.

During the segment involving The Rock and Ronda Rousey, Seth Rollins was called backstage and informed that he would be cashing in during the main event. The three performers planned out the finish in a jiffy and played it to perfection at the end of the night.

Roman was giving a hard fight to The Beast, with Brock's face a bloody mess. Suddenly, Rollins music hit and he sprinted towards the ring with the briefcase in his hands.

The match was immediately turned into a triple threat bout, with Seth pinning Reigns to steal the world title at the very last moment. Apparently, Roman's family was pissed off at Vince for doing this to The Big Dog.

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.
