WWE NXT recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary and several Superstars reacted on the show achieving this milestone.

Former Intercontinental Champion Zack Ryder posted a rather interesting tweet on the occasion. He congratulated NXT on the 10-year anniversary and went on to apologize for The Hype Bros being a thing. Check out the tweet below:
Happy 10th anniversary @WWENXT! Sorry about the Hype Bros.
After spending around two years in developmental, Ryder was promoted to the main roster in 2007, where he continued teaming up with Curt Hawkins, and became a part of Edge's faction, La Familia. The biggest moment of Ryder's career came when he won the WWE Intercontinental title in a Ladder match at WrestleMania 32.
Ryder formed The Hype Bros with Mojo Rawley in June 2015 during his brief return to NXT. After a two-year stint, Rawley turned on Ryder, thus dissolving the team. They faced each other at WWE Clash Of Champions 2017, with Rawley picking up the victory.
The two again battled in a United States Championship tournament match, with Rawley coming out on top for the second time in a row. The duo didn't do much on the main roster throughout their run, and never bagged the Championship gold in the Tag Team division.

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.
