January 20 is recognized as Martin Luther King Day, celebrating the birthday of the leader of the American Civil Rights Movement. Over the years, WWE has made it a point to celebrate Martin Luther King Day and recognize the contributions of King.
WWE, the worldwide leader in sports entertainment, has been doing its bit towards recognizing talent from a diverse set of cultures for a while now. Last year, The New Day's Kofi Kingston compete in the WWE title match at WrestleMania 35, ultimately winning the belt for the first time in his decade-long career. Kingston held the belt fot the better part of 2019 before dropping it to Brock Lesnar.

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.
