Edge talked about his WWE title TLC match against The Nature Boy on RAW back in 2006, and recalled a young Charlotte Flair booing him loudly from the front row. Edge described the feeling as something that came straight out of a dream.
To look back, to say that I wrestled Ric Flair for the WWE Championship in a TLC match, his first Ladder match, in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a future Charlotte sitting in the front row, booing her head off at me. Again, that's just stuff that you might imagine in a dream but now it's actually happening.

The match in question took place on the January 16, 2006 edition of Monday Night RAW. This was days after Edge had successfully cashed in his MITB contract on John Cena, at New Years Revolution 2006.
After a hard-fought battle, Edge managed to put Flair down and grab the WWE title to win the match. However, he would lose the belt soon in a rematch against John Cena at the 2006 Royal Rumble PPV.

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.
