Goldberg is a rare entity that has dominated Brock Lesnar like no one else ever has. The two feuded on the road to WrestleMania 20, back in 2004. At The Show of Shows, Goldberg defeated Lesnar with the aid of a Spear, followed by a Jackhammer. Stone Cold Steve Austin, who was the special referee in the match, ended up stunning both Superstars when all was said and done.

12 years later, Lesnar was running rampant on the WWE roster. Goldberg made his long-anticipated return to WWE and the two behemoths faced each other at Survivor Series 2016. In one of the biggest surprises in WWE history, Goldberg hit Lesnar with two Spears, and a Jackhammer, and picked up the clean win over The Beast. The arena erupted as Lesnar had never been dominated like this before. The most dangerous athlete in all of WWE was beaten by Goldberg in a matter of seconds.
Goldberg went on to eliminate Lesnar from the Royal Rumble match immediately upon entering the free-for-all. He finally lost to Lesnar in a Universal title match at WrestleMania 33. Goldberg lost his Universal title to Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 36 mere days ago, and there's no indication that he'll come back for another run somewhere down the line.

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.
