The Hounds of Justice were destined for greatness from day one and were treated as a big deal on the WWE roster as soon as they debuted at Survivor Series 2012. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose were originally heels. They turned babyface on the Road to WrestleMania 30 in 2014 and engaged in a feud with the newly-reformed Evolution after the event. During this feud, Seth Rollins turned on his stablemates, and thus The Shield disbanded.

Rollins won his first World title in the main event of WrestleMania 31, by cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase. In May 2016, Ambrose won the Money In The Bank briefcase and went on to cash it in on Rollins on the same night to become WWE World Champion.
Reigns was the breakout star of The Shield and WWE pushed him as a megastar for the next few years. Reigns won 3 World titles and a Universal title as well. He went on to headline four straight WrestleMania events from 2015 to 2018.

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.
