No one had the slightest idea as to what was going to happen that night in New Orleans. The moment Brock delivered his third F5 to The Deadman and pinned him in the middle of the ring, the sea of 70,000 fans gasped in unison. This was followed by a long stretch of silence as no one believed that the streak was history.

Brock Lesnar immediately became the most hated superstar in the WWE, and Paul Heyman's constant reminders about The Beast breaking The Undertaker's streak didn't sit well with the fans too.
It took Lesnar squashing John Cena at Summerslam 2014 to calm the fans down and begin to revere him again. But what followed was the 5-year long reign of terror, which is still going strong and is expected to come to an end at WrestleMania 35 at the hands of Seth Rollins.

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.
