Longtime WWE fans who used to tune into WCW during its dying days might recall seeing a young Charlotte Flair on several occasions. Charlotte appeared alongside Ric Flair in various instances during the legend's feud with Vince Russo. Charlotte carried her father's legacy and signed a contract with WWE in 2012. Her first televised singles match was a winning effort against current SmackDown Superstar Bayley.

Charlotte never looked back and went on to become one of the best female wrestlers of the modern era. She made her way to the main roster alongside Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks in 2015. Flair became the inaugural WWE Women's Champion by defeating Banks and Lynch at WrestleMania 32. Flair made history at WrestleMania 35 by being one of three women to headline The Show of Shows for the first time in history. "The Queen" lost the match and her SmackDown Women's title to Becky Lynch on this historic night.

Charlotte Flair was recently ranked #2 in WWE's list of "Top 50 Female Superstars" with Trish Stratus bagging the first spot. It should be noted that Charlotte defeated Stratus in a singles match at SummerSlam 2019 in what many deemed a "passing of the torch" moment.

Flair's name usually comes up when fans talk about wrestlers who are WWE mainstays for life. She holds major star power and is on her way to surpassing her father in terms of the number of title wins. Flair is currently a 12-time Women's Champion.

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.
