WWE Hall of Famer Edge made an appearance on tonight's edition of WWE Backstage. The former World Champion opened up on his rivalry with fellow WWE veteran Randy Orton and said that he knew from the very beginning that he had to kick off his WWE return with a feud with The Viper. Edge went on to state that no one is better than Orton when he is motivated and sinks his teeth into it.

When he can sink his teeth into something, there's no one better, there really isn't. And I knew, he would be able to sink his teeth into this. When Randy's motivated, when Randy is really into something, and that goes to promos, that goes to work, that goes to everything, he's always top-notch. He can take it to another level, that he doesn't realize he has. And that was the case.
Orton attacked Edge following the latter's return at the 2020 Royal Rumble PPV and brutally assaulted him with a chair. The buildup to their WrestleMania encounter saw Orton attacking Edge's former rival Matt Hardy, as well as Edge's wife and fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Beth Phoenix. The rivalry culminated in a Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania 36, which lasted around 36 minutes, with Edge coming out victorious in the end.

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.
