Fans might be aware of the fact that WrestleMania 36 was taped this year, way ahead of the actual airing. While speaking to the WWE Backstage panel, McIntyre said that he watched The Show of Shows with his wife and two cats. He also revealed that he doesn't like to watch himself on TV.
McIntyre further stated that after he won the WWE title, he put it upstairs until his victory was televised for the WWE Universe to see. As soon as fans learned of McIntyre's win, he ran up and got hold of the title. McIntyre explained that he felt the win wasn't 'real' until it was televised for the whole world to witness.

McIntyre won the WWE title by hitting four Claymore Kicks to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36. He had earned the opportunity to face The Beast by winning the 2020 Royal Rumble match, after eliminating Roman Reigns. McIntyre had eliminated Brock Lesnar in the annual free-for-all as well, after some assist by Ricochet.

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.
