Roman Reigns' absence led to Kurt Angle joining The Shield for one night at TLC 2017
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle occasionally does Q&A sessions with his fans on his official Facebook account. In a recent Q&A, Angle responded to a bunch of fan questions, and shared his thoughts on getting to team up with The Shield at the TLC PPV in 2017. Angle stated that wrestling alongside The Shield was a dream come true for him, and added that the faction will go down in Pro-Wrestling history as Hall of Famers.

"It was a dream come true. The Shield will go down in history as HOFers. It was an honor to team up with them."
The main event of TLC 2017 featured a 5-on-3 Handicap Match, with The Miz, Braun Strowman, Kane, and Cesaro & Sheamus taking on The Shield. A viral infection prevented Roman Reigns from competing, and this resulted in Angle wrestling his first WWE match in more than a decade.
The chaotic contest ended with The Shield hitting a Triple Powerbomb on The Miz, followed by Angle pinning The A-Lister to win the match for his team. Check out the entire Q&A on the link below:

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.
