3 WWE Superstars who never changed managers and 3 who did

#4 Umaga (never changed)

Umaga and Estrada were mainstays on WWE RAW for the better part of 2006

Umaga made his WWE debut immediately after WrestleMania 22 in 2006, and was portrayed as a dangerous character who could only be handled by his on-screen manager, Armando Alejandro Estrada. Umaga made an explosive debut by putting down Ric Flair and defeating him at Backlash 2006.

He soon established himself as one of the most destructive forces in all of WWE. Umaga went on to feud with John Cena in early 2007, and the rivalry ended with Cena defeating Umaga at the 2007 Royal Rumble PPV.

At WrestleMania 23, Umaga represented Vince McMahon in the "Battle of the Billionaires" match against Bobby Lashley, who was representing Donald Trump. The WWE creative team felt that there were too many people standing at ringside during the blockbuster match, and later decided to write Estrada off WWE TV. Estrada was soon announced as the GM of ECW.

He was also used as an enhancement talent during his final days in WWE, following which he was released in late 2008.

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.
