Punk and Rhodes were two of AEW's biggest stars about two years ago. A lot has changed since then. Rhodes made his big WWE return at WrestleMania 38 in 2022 and has been presented as the face of the company since then. Rhodes won a lengthy feud against Seth Rollins upon his return, followed by the 2023 Royal Rumble match. His goal is to finish the story and win the big one in the main event of WrestleMania 40.

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.
