Abadon Says Asuka Is A Dream Match, Also Wants A Cage Match

During a virtual signing for K&S Wrestlefest (via Fightful), Abadon, who recently exited AEW, spoke about matches they wanted to have and said WWE’s Asuka is a dream match. Abadon announced back in May that AEW would not be renewing their contract and they are now a free agent. Here are highlights:

On their favorite matches in AEW: “I always liked my Hardcore matches that I had (in AEW). I really enjoyed the one I had on Collision with (Hikaru) Shida, the Halloween match and then, my Halloween match as well with Athena. Athena’s somebody I’ve always wanted to wrestle so, being able to face her in a little bit longer of a storyline, it was worth it and a lot of fun.”

On the origin of the Abadon character: “So, I’m super big into horror. Obviously, one of my favorite video games is Resident Evil. I have it tattooed on me and I just love zombies. They scared me a lot as a child. So, as I got older, I ended up having a fascination with the concepts of if a zombie could ever be real, and the Resident Evil movies came out and then I also am super big into heavy metal music or alternative music and fashion, and I love Visual kei, which is a form of Japanese fashion and J-rock is also a form of music from there, and I just take inspiration from things I heavily love. I’m not good at being a character in a sense of I couldn’t do something I didn’t like and so I was just like, ‘I’m gonna do me. Just turn it up to an 11.’”

On dream matches: “My dream match and why? Well, f*ck, that’s kind of hard. I mean, I really wanna wrestle Asuka at some point in my life. That’d be pretty cool. I’ve never had a Cage match so I really wanna have that at some point in my career. But Asuka is definitely up there… That would be pretty rad (to do a Cage match against Asuka). I’m not gonna lie… There are plenty, there’s so many but that’s probably the main.”
