Here's the match video of Hikaru Shida defending her AEW Women's Championship against Abadon. Abadon is a gimmick that you either like or hate. I don't like her because all the hype in the world won't change that she is very inexperienced in the ring. You will see during this match that her punches are terrible. So all she really is is a horror movie gimmick. Most wrestling fans are more sophisticated than that today. She has to be able to work in the ring to get anyone to buy into her and she isn't capable of that yet. AEW found her in Denver. She was known there as The Living Dead Girl. Sportskeeda posted a pic of Abadon without makeup and she's very attractive. AEW's approach is that Hikaru is afraid of Abadon and then they had Abadon bite Hikaru's neck a few weeks ago. No one liked it when Shayna Baszler bit Becky Lynch's neck a few months ago. Why would they imitate something that hokey? So AEW has already jumped the shark by the time this match started. They just went farther with it. They went under the ring to draw blood. Is that hokey enough for you? The commentary was awful. They kept treating Hikaru like a victim when it was predictable that she would sell Abadon's crappy offense and then come back and win the match. You can't base a main event wrestling character on a look without at least half decent wrestling skills. And that's something that the idiots at AEW should know. Respect to Hikaru for going through with this nonsense. Check out the video for yourself.
