Remember the "This is your life" segment involving Alexa Bliss and Bayley? Or when Roman Reigns shared a story featuring The Big Show?

This is a practice that has become a norm over the course of the past several years. Wrestlers are spoon-fed promos, which leads to even the best of segments getting ruined in the process. This travesty was in full display when Bayley and Sasha Banks were feuding with each other. Their backstage promos gave off the vibe of being rehearsed poorly.
Instead of giving pre-written lines to wrestlers, they should be given the freedom to carve out their own promos. This was done with Bray Wyatt and he went on to deliver some of the best promos in recent history during his first runin WWE. Triple H, being a master on the mic himself, understands this fact more than anyone else, and will surely rectify this problem once he takes over.
Delivering effective promos is a very essential skill that every WWE superstar must possess. Roman Reigns, during his initial years excelled as a wrestler, but failed to catch the imagination of the audience owing to poor mic skills.
With Hunter in charge, let us hope for more pipe bombs and less spoon fed promos.

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.
