Soon after Lesnar left WWE in March 2004, Eugene made his way up to the main roster and was featured heavily on RAW for the next few months, including a main event caliber match against Triple H at SummerSlam 2004. He donned the gimmick of a special person who was happy to be wrestling alongside his favorite Superstars.

Around four years before he was promoted to the main roster, Eugene competed in a 6-Man Tag Team match at OVW, alongside Brock Lesnar and Big Show. The trio defeated Mr. Black, Rob Conway, and The Collector in what was Lesnar's third match in OVW.

Days before making his first-ever main roster appearance, Brock Lesnar competed in a string of dark matches as well as live show bouts. On the March 10, 2002, edition of WWE Live, Lesnar teamed up with former D-X member X-Pac. The duo took on Crash Holly and Randy Orton and managed to score a win over them.
Both Lesnar and Orton would soon make their way to the main roster shows and go on to become the youngest WWE and World Champions respectively in the next two years.

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.
