The better part of 2002 saw Vince McMahon and Ric Flair engaging in a power struggle. The duo wrestled in a Street Fight at Royal Rumble 2002 which Flair won. Months later, Flair took on Vince again on an episode of RAW, with the 100% ownership of RAW on the line. Brock Lesnar's interference helped Vince pin Flair and take full control of RAW.

Flair wrestled for the next six years on the main roster before retiring at WrestleMania 24 following his match against Shawn Michaels. At 71, Flair is currently enjoying his retirement. It has been 11 years since he last wrestled a match.
Back in 2009, Vince joined forces with DX to take on Randy Orton's Legacy on RAW. Orton decided to bail in the end but was thrust into the ring by Cena who surprised The Viper from behind. An Attitude Adjustment from Cena was enough for Vince to score a pin over Orton.
Today, Orton is a seasoned veteran and still seems to have a lot left in the tank. He recently lost a Last Man Standing match to WWE Hall of Famer Edge at WrestleMania 36.

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.
