AEW star Abadon is finishing up with All Elite Wrestling. They took to social media on May 30, 2025, to announce that their contract with AEW will expire in June and is not being renewed.
In her statement, Abadon shared her current feelings: "My time with AEW is coming to an end. My contract expires in June and I will not be renewed." They continued, "The emotions I'm currently trying to manage are incredibly difficult and full of conflict as I reflect on my time there."
Despite the news, Abadon expressed a strong desire to continue her wrestling career. "My goal is to not let this be it for me, because I love wrestling too much to just stop," they wrote. "I've put in a lot of hard work that I will now be able to showcase more often."
Abadon, known for her terrifying and unique "Living Dead Girl" persona, first made an impact in AEW in 2020. After impressive initial appearances on AEW Dark, they were officially signed by the company in June of that year.

Abadon's horror-inspired gimmick, complete with unsettling mannerisms and a striking look, immediately set them apart in the women's division. During Abadon's early tenure, Abadon had several memorable moments, including a notable AEW Women's World Championship eliminator match against then-champion Hikaru Shida in late 2020.
While not always a consistent presence on Dynamite or Rampage, Abadon was a unique attraction whenever they appeared, often instilling fear in Abadon opponents and the audience. Abadon's last televised AEW match was in December 2023.

More recently, Abadon had been competing on Ring of Honor (ROH) television throughout 2024 and into early 2025, continuing to display their distinctive style.
Abadon ended her statement with a message of resilience and an open call for future bookings. "While my heart is currently broken you can bet that I'm still going to show up for training next week. If you are looking to book me please send an email to bookabadonhere@ Thank you," she concluded.
It will be interesting to see where Abadon goes from here after being with AEW for the last few years. She is clearly talented in the ring, and the fact that she has a unique character could give her an edge over others looking for work, especially from a big promotion.
