10 Wrestlers Who Still Believe In Kayfabe

4. Abadon

Abadon made her debut on AEW Dark in March 2020 and her grotesque character left an impression on AEW fans who clamoured for her blood-like appearance and her in-ring psychology of exploiting opponents’ weaknesses in matches. Articles like ‘Who Is Abadon & How Did AEW Find Her?’ and ‘Who Is The Scary and Mysterious AEW star Abadon?’ ran rampant on the internet soon after she debuted. Fans wanted to know more about ‘The Living Dead Girl’.

Like Rosemary and Danhausen, Abadon stays in character with face paint and her eerie demeanour on social media, titling bloodcurdling pictures of her with words like ‘REAPER’ and ‘RAGE’ and ‘JUGULAR’. She does her best for the audience to completely invest in her character, trying her best for them not to see a separation from real life. Her twisted zombie persona comes across as genuinely terrifying.

Even on Twitter when calling out Al Snow for how he acted towards her in a training seminar once and the sexist behaviour she experienced in the wrestling business when learning the ropes, she ended her tweet in character as commitment to the role, writing ‘I continue to take their souls and rip their flesh from bone.’
