5 Gimmick matches WWE needs to bring back

#2 Championship Scramble match

Championship Scramble match for the ECW World title

One thing that the rich and storied history of WWE has proved is that multi-man spectacles always sell tickets. There's just something exciting about several Superstars brawling inside the squared circle to secure a title belt. Matches like Elimination Chamber and Money In The Bank have proved this on several occasions.

Back in the late 2000s, the Championship Scramble match made its debut at Unforgiven 2008. The PPV saw all the three top titles (the WWE title, the WWE World Heavyweight title, and the ECW title) being defended in Championship Scramble matches. Matt Hardy, Triple H, and Chris Jericho won their respective Scramble matches, leaving with the gold on their shoulders.

The match features five Superstars and starts off with two of the bunch. After every five minutes, a Superstar enters the match. After all wrestlers have entered, any pin or submission results in an interim title reign. Five minutes after the final wrestler has entered the match, the Superstar to score a pinfall or submission wins the bout.

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.
