3 Things WWE should unban and 3 that should remain banned

#4 Banning former wrestlers from being mentioned in social media posts (WWE should unban)

Fans who follow WWE on social media sites like Twitter must have noticed a peculiar thing about certain posts. For instance, while posting a throwback picture or clip that celebrates the anniversary of a classic match or segment, WWE tends to ignore a wrestler who was an integral part of the same but is not working for the company now. This has happened several times in the past, much to the annoyance of the WWE Universe.

Around a week ago, WWE Network's official Twitter handle posted the clip of Paige defeating Emma to become the first-ever NXT Women's Champion in 2013 and didn't tag the latter in the tweet. It should be noted that Emma is currently signed with IMPACT Wrestling, and also appears occasionally on the independent scene.

The tweet wasn't taken well by the WWE Universe and many fans slammed WWE for ignoring Emma in their throwback clip, just because she isn't currently affiliated with the company and is working for a different promotion. Banning certain wrestlers from being mentioned in any of its social media posts is a practice that WWE should ditch, especially when the person in question had a major role in the match or segment that's posted.

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.
