The historic venue has played hosts to finals of two World events and is often referred to as the cricket’s answer to the Colosseum, the historic amphitheatre in Rome. However, it was also the setting where Indian infamously lost to Sri Lanka in the 1996 World-Cup semifinal.

The fact that he is already challenging for the Universal Championship against Seth Rollins at Hell in a Cell speaks volumes as to what WWE thinks about him....

Since both the superstars have carried the company on their shoulders for almost three decades, it’s a damn shame that the company has failed to entice such anticipation for their current product. While advancing the narrative to deliver a solid show is equally important, but WWE’s lackluster way of booking heated segments have diminished superstars’ credibility. Considering how Undertaker’s confrontation with HBK was possibly the most intense segments of the entire year, there’s bound to be more such interactions before we head to 2019....

Each manager has his own style of play and tactics, therefore, chances are that many of the players who are at the club may not fit into the philosophy and tactics of the new manager....
