5 Things Vince McMahon has unbanned in WWE

#1 Randy Orton opens up on bringing back a move that gave Vince McMahon a concussion

In early 2009, Randy Orton kicked off a feud with the McMahons, by hitting a devastating Punt on Vince McMahon that gave him a legit concussion. Vince McMahon later banned the dangerous move, and we didn't see Orton use it for a long time. It all changed this year when Orton embraced The Legend Killer gimmick again.

Since I was playing the Legend Killer, I had to bring the punt kick back! I’ve devised a way to tip the kick whether we’re taping or live where it’s 100 percent safe and I’m not going to hurt anybody.

So given that and given the fact it was so dangerous and it was outlawed, now I think I’m able to do it again because Vince trusts that I’ve figured out how to make it safe.

Over the past few months, Randy Orton has attacked a string of legends and has used the Punt effectively on many of them. Orton has attacked Edge, Christian, Big Show, Ric Flair, and Shawn Michaels with the move. Orton is back to being the top guy again, after winning the WWE title at Hell in a Cell last night.

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.
