Roman Reigns didn't appear on WWE TV during the pandemic and decided to exercise precaution and stay home. The Big Dog has wrestled on pay-per-view on four occasions this year and has four straight wins. At the Royal Rumble pay-per-view earlier this year, Reigns defeated King Corbin in a Falls Count Anywhere match. It seemed like the rivalry had come to an end, but this wasn't the case. The duo faced again at WWE Super ShowDown, inside a steel cage. The Big Dog reigned supreme again and then kicked off a feud with Goldberg over the Universal title. Reigns pulled out at the last moment though, and wouldn't return until SummerSlam 2020 came around.
At WWE Payback, Reigns defeated The Fiend and Braun Strowman to win the Universal title. Dubbed The Tribal Chief, Reigns had instantly become the top heel in all of WWE. He went on to defend the belt against his cousin, Jey Uso, at WWE Clash of Champions. Reigns won this time around as well, thus bringing his record to 4-0.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
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.
