Hikaru Shida defeated Abadon on AEW Dynamite this week, and it was a very unique match for sure. We've seen both Rosemary and Su Yung adopt a similar persona in the IMPACT Wrestling women's division, but there is just something unsettling about Abadon, and everything that she does. She even brings out the best in Jim Ross who seemed aghast at how unhinged Abadon seems.

The visual of Abadon dragging Hikaru Shida into the depths of hell, which is somehow below the ring was very well executed, and visually interesting.
Obviously, Abadon came up short against Hikaru Shida but the fact that she's so very different, with her biting and the way she jumpstarted the contest, should hold her in good stead in the AEW Dynamite roster. So, who will step up to challenge Hikaru Shida next, one wonders? Will it be Dr. Britt Baker or someone else from the roster, like Nyla Rose, with Vickie Guerrero in her corner?
