Nia Jax has a reputation of being incredibly reckless and unsafe in the ring. A while ago, she posted an Instagram story that resulted in major fan backlash towards the former WWE RAW Women's Champion. Jax posted a comment made against the COVID-19 vaccine and added her own comments that acted as fuel to the fire.

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.
