Now, I could just say she deserves a contract off of that kind of creativity alone (because she does) but on top of making this a way too short slideshow slide, it just would not be true because there is so much more to Trish Adora than just a cool finisher name.
If the name sounds familiar, it should. On top of one-off appearances for indie favorites like SHINE and EVOLVE, Adora served as an enhancement talent putting over Kairi Sane during a 2018 episode of NXT. While she got laid out with relative ease by Sane in under three minutes (as anyone working as an enhancement talent should), Adora is actually a force to be reckoned with when she’s allowed to work a full match.
Trained by The Dudley Boyz over at their Team 3D Academy, Adora is one of the toughest, hardest hitting, strongest women I have ever seen step between those ropes and as someone who has only been wrestling for four years now, that says a lot.
In four years time, Adora is finally, slowly starting to gain a cult following. Most recently, she became the first ever Pan-Afrikan World Diaspora Wrestling Champion in F1ght Club and, in 2018, became GCW’s first ever Women’s Championship, a title she’s still holding for 473 days and counting. (Correction: Trish Adora pointed out that she dropped the title on Nov. 30 to KiLynn King.)
Move over, Buddy Murphy, because Trish Adora is wrestling latest best kept secret. AEW need to swoop her up before the competition do just that after she truly reaches a breakout.
