Red Velvet in Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A notable addition on the card this week is Red Velvet, <\/strong>whose tag match with KiLynn King<\/strong> against Ivelisse<\/strong> and Diamante<\/strong> will air just 24 hours before her career-making match on Dynamite. <\/em>Velvet is teaming with\u00a0Cody Rhodes<\/strong> to take on Shaquille O’Neal<\/strong> and Jade Cargill<\/strong><\/a>. On the latest episode of the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Red Velvet explained how she got her ring name.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn college, I had my first life changing relationship. It put my life upside down and changed my life. It changed me as a person forever, so I went through this stage where I dyed my hair super red. I said \u2018I\u2019m getting rid of everything in the past. I\u2019m a new person\u2019. I had this red hair and my friends would say that was my alter ego. They were like, when Velvet switched modes, she\u2019s like Red Violet.<\/em><\/p>\n

A show came up asking for wrestlers and anyone can do it. I had to cut a promo. I went to my friend\u2019s house and I was like, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m going to cut a promo. I\u2019m going to be a wrestler.’ He said, \u2018What is your wrestling name?\u2019, and he was a huge wrestling fan. I said, \u2018Red Violet\u2019. He said, \u2018Ew, that\u2019s not good.’ I said, \u2018I have nothing. That\u2019s like my alter ego\u2019. He said, \u2018You\u2019re small, petite, spicy, you\u2019re very elegant in the way you do things. Your hair is super red. Your skin is beautiful chocolate. You remind me of a red velvet cake\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

I said, \u2018Okay, let\u2019s wing it. Let\u2019s use it\u2019. In the beginning, it was more of a comparison of what he said I was. I started putting some thought into it and as a person and my alter ego, how am I? It kind of all flowed. My sassiness and my sweetness because I am a really sweet person, but when you piss me off, I\u2019ll give you cavities. Then the velvet, because I used to dance, so just like the way I started to move in the ring was very fluid and very elegant. Then it started taking off.<\/em><\/p>\n

My trainer was making jokes about it and asked \u2018Where are you going to come from?\u2019. I\u2019m like, \u2018I don\u2019t know, Florida, where I\u2019m from.\u2019 He\u2019s like \u2018How about straight out of your momma\u2019s kitchen?\u2019, because that\u2019s when Straight Outta Compton, the movie, came out and everybody was saying, \u2018Straight outta this and straight outta that\u2019. He said, \u2018How about straight outta your momma\u2019s kitchen?\u2019. I liked it and it took off and then now that is my whole persona, the kitchen, like, the oven is on. I\u2019m going to stir it up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

If all goes well, after her match on Dark and after the huge match on Dynamite<\/em>, the name Red Velvet will be a name many wrestling fans will never forget.<\/p>\n

Abadon Returns to Dark<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Abadon<\/strong><\/a> will return to AEW Dark<\/em> this week for the first time in over a month. In her last appearance on Dark,<\/em> she handily defeated Vertvixen<\/strong>, just like she has defeated most of the women she has stood across the ring from in AEW. Abadon was undefeated in the promotion for months however when she received an AEW Women\u2019s World Championship match earlier this year against Hikaru Shida. <\/strong>She was unable to continue the winning streak as Shida managed to slay the beast and retain her Women\u2019s World Championship.<\/p>\n

This week on Dark, Abadon will wrestle Renee Michelle<\/strong>. This will be Michelle\u2019s third week in AEW and she has yet to pick up a victory. She lost her debut match against Shanna<\/strong> two weeks ago and last week she was in a tag team match, teaming with Miranda Alize<\/strong> against Ivelisse<\/strong> and Diamante<\/strong>, which unfortunately for Michelle she also lost. A match against Abadon this week will be a tough place for Renee Michelle to pick up that elusive first victory.<\/p>\n
