In a recent interview with Pro Wrestling Junkies, current AEW star Christopher Daniels gave his thoughts on the current AEW women’s division. He also spoke about current AEW women’s star Abadon and what her future may hold.
Daniels commented on how far the women’s division has come,
“I feel like we’ve made some great strides as far as getting women involved in our company. The signing of Serena Deeb and Kris Statlander – we started out with Nyla Rose, Hikaru Shida and Riho. Adding those girls and talent, like Ivelisse and Diamante, these are all steps to building a viable women’s division. I feel like the difficulty we have is having a single two-hour show every week, and it’s difficult with all these people fighting to be on TV.
“The women are in that same boat. It’s difficult to show everybody off when you only have two hours. When Turner extended us for four years, they talked about doing a second show. When that second show comes around, hopefully we’ll have a better opportunity to showcase more men and women. With that added real estate, we should see more people take that opportunity to come to the forefront and show what they can do.”
Daniels then commented on Abadon and her current gimmick,
“I feel like the difficulty with that style of gimmick is just like you said – less is more. There’s a natural tendency to want to do everything you can do, but that doesn’t serve that particular kind of character. The toughest part for her is trying to decide what part she should show or can show as an athlete. I feel like she’s learning that. A lot of people are taking her under their wing in the back and sort of letting her know that, ‘Hey, this is something you don’t want to give too much away on,’ or, ‘This is something you probably should pull back on.’ You don’t want to give away the store, so to speak, in your first couple months of being a character. You want to leave some to be desired; you want to have somewhere to go. You want to have that trajectory and longevity.”
