Punk opened up on former RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey's recent comments on the WWE Universe as well as the company. The Rowdy One had dubbed the fans as being ungrateful towards her when she was an active performer. She also put down WWE by calling it "fake fighting".
Punk said that he loved Rousey getting the fans all worked up and triggered by her comments about pro-wrestling. He further stated that wrestling is at its best when the lines are blurred.

CM Punk says he was a big fan of Ronda Rousey getting a lot of people all hot and bothered with her recent comments about wrestling. Says wrestling is at its best when the lines are blurred. #WWEBackstage
Punk would certainly know a thing or two about blurring the lines. His legendary pipebomb promo on an episode of RAW in 2011 blurred the lines between fiction and reality, when he broke the fourth wall and mentioned names like Hulk Hogan, Colt Cabana, and Brock Lesnar. The Summer of Punk saw him cutting such promos on a regular basis, making for intriguing and must-see TV.
Ronda's comments did garner quite a loud reaction from the WWE Universe, which prompted her to post a tweet later on, hinting that she was working the fans and they fell for it.

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.
