#2 Hulk Hogan is in awe

Hulk Hogan was one of the biggest legends who graced the WWE Universe with their presence at the Raw Reunion. He and Ric Flair pumped up the crowd to kick off the final segment of the show, soon after which Austin made his way to the ring and the beer bash started.

Hogan was in total awe of the fact that some of the wrestlers he once shared a ring with were still in incredible shape, and added that they could still go out there and tear the house down. He further stated that the most peace he has felt in his life is when he was out there, wrestling in front of the fans.

#1 John Cena thanks Stone Cold

Possibly the biggest backstage moment of the night saw John Cena and Stone Cold Steve Austin having a quick chat. These two Superstars are hailed by many as the biggest stars of their generations, and no Top 10 'All-time greats' list ever leaves out either of them.

Austin confronted Cena soon after his arrival, and the two shook hands. Austin stated that he was proud of Cena, to which the former WWE Champion responded with a "Thank you", and added that a compliment from Austin means a lot to him.

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.
