Tonga and Anderson, albeit working in different promotions, have a lot of history together. At Wrestling Dontaku 2013, Anderson lost a match to Hiroshi Tanahashi, followed by which Tonga, Bad Luck Fale, and Prince Devitt (Finn Balor) came down to the ring and attacked the victor. The quartet went on to form a stable with Devitt being the leader, and named it "Bullet Club".

Devitt later signed a contract with WWE. Anderson, along with Luke Gallows, also made their WWE debut on the April 11, 2016 edition of Monday Night RAW, and are currently a part of "The O.C.", alongside AJ Styles.

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.
