The duo became the first ever Women's Tag Team Champions at the Elimination Chamber PPV in February, after going through 5 other teams inside the hellish structure. They are all set to defend their Tag Team titles on The Grandest Stage Of Them All, in a Fatal Four Way Tag Team match. A returning Beth Phoenix will join her former partner Natalya to compete in the match. Plus, Nia Jax & Tamina Snuka, and The IIconics from Tuesday nights are in for a shot too.

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.
