Do I watch AEW? Yeah, I watch AEW, of course I do. I'm very happy for the success of that company, 'cause it's always a good thing, and creates a hunger which is good.
All Elite Wrestling came into existence back in May 2019 with its first show, "Double Or Nothing". The show featured a strong undercard, a bloody brawl between the Rhodes brothers, and the shocking debut of former WWE Superstar Jon Moxley.

Ever since then, the company has been doing well for itself and airs its weekly show in direct competition with WWE NXT. It's currently airing pre-taped shows amidst the coronavirus outbreak and even without a live audience, AEW have been putting up very good shows.
The Rock is known for always keeping a tab on what's going on in the wrestling world. He heaped praise on Cody's intense babyface promo on AEW Dynamite, back in November. AEW boasts a large crop of talented athletes, including The Rock's close friend and former on-screen rival, Chris Jericho.

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.
