<p>All Elite Wrestling debuted two new faces on this week&#8217;s episode of taping as Abadon and Ricky Starks made their way to Jacksonville for an appearance on Dynamite.</p>



<p><strong>Abadon</strong>, whose terrifying persona caught the fans off-guard during her appearance on AEW Dark in March, made her Dynamite debut in a squash victory over Anna Jay (who was making her return as well). It was later announced that Abadon has signed to a full-time contract with the company.</p>

<p>Abadon hasn&#8217;t worked for any major company prior to this and she is a hidden gem from a small promotion in Denver. AEW called her in during AEW Dark in Denver a few months ago, and she was able to catch the attention of the AEW brass.</p>



<p>With Kris Statlander and Britt Baker out due to injury, AEW is bringing in more stars for their Women&#8217;s Division.</p>



<p>Post-match, Anna Jay was helped to the back by the Dark Order, as the Exalted One Brodie Lee gave her a hand. Jay thanked Lee for the gesture on Twitter, and could possibly be a new member of the cult.</p>



<p>The Dark Order also handed out an envelope to Colt Cabana at ringside, who looked confused.</p>



<p>The second of the two scheduled title matches saw <strong>Cody Rhodes</strong> continue his streak of TNT Championship Open Challenge matchups, and his opponent for this week was former NWA Champion <strong>Ricky Starks</strong>.</p>



<p>Starks couldn&#8217;t dethrone the champion, but his performance earned him praise from Tony Khan, who announced his signing to the company on Twitter.</p>

<p>Starks became the NWA Television Champion earlier this year when NWA decided to bring back the iconic title after 29 years.</p>
