I think it's also worth mentioning that before I tried using a page rule, I did try using the dedicated "redirect rule" section on the dashboard and I still wasn't able to achieve the expected outcome.
#page rules not propagating?

Are you testing it through the abc.xyz domain or with www prepended, if the latter is true then it wouldn't match the condition

I’m going to assume you’re talking about the ‘www’ in the example from the first image. That’s not what I put for the URL. I’m not sure why it added it there but my final origin domain looked exactly like ‘abc.xyz/*’

Whats the exact error you get when you try to visit it? Do you get site not found /nxdomain, or something else?

Either should work, that's valid as well.
Most likely one of the following is true:
You don't have a DNS record for abc.xyz
You need one to exist for the traffic to flow through the page rule. You can create
AAAA @ 100:: Proxied for originless setups, 100:: is just IPv6 Discard (i.e if nothing like a redirect handles the response be fore it gets to contacting the origin, just fail).
You would be getting "This site cannot be found" / nxdomain generic errors if that was the case
Or
You do have one, and it's not proxied. It needs to be proxied for traffic to flow through Cloudflare and the redirects to work.
If you're getting 522 / connection timed out, it's not matching one of the rules
