On the May 8, 2007, episode of ECW, McMahon decided to target a popular fan-favorite in Rob Van Dam. Vince, Umaga and Shane McMahon destroyed RVD in quick fashion, with Vince getting the pin over the former WWE Champion in the end.

Lashley loses the ECW title:
He returned to the promotion in 2018 and is currently wrestling on WWE RAW. Lashley formed an alliance with Lana last year, leading to their on-screen marriage. At present, Lashley seems to be getting tired of being with Lana and it looks like a separation is on the horizon.

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.
