When Becky Lynch won the RAW and SmackDown Women's titles in the main event of WrestleMania 35, her mom and dad were present at ringside to witness The Man create history. Lynch talked in detail about what they thought of "The Man" persona and the way she handled herself on social media.

"It probably wouldn't be my mom's favorite thing in the world. She'd be a more conservative lady. But she sees how well it's worked for me, she knows that I know what I'm doing and she sees where it has gotten me and that I'm out there changing the game and she's all about that."

"My dad wouldn't have a clue, he's known that I've been mouth from the minute I could talk and he encourages it, but he wouldn't keep tabs on my social media and me being mouthy, said Becky Lynch."

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.
