TNA/IMPACT Wrestling star Deonna Purrazzo recently appeared on the Wrestling Is Life Is Wrestling program to talk about a number of topics including her release from WWE back in 2020 and what she has learned during that time.
Purrazzo said, “So when I got the phone call that I was released (from WWE), it was like, ‘What 203 number is calling me? I’m getting fired right now.’ But also, it was a great conversation with Canyon Ceman at the time because he was like, ‘I think this is what you want and you’re gonna end up really happy’ and I was like, ‘I think so too, so thank you.’ As negative as it was, it kind of ended — at least with Canyon who I had worked with for like seven years up until that point on and off. It ended up really positive and I think, yeah, I wouldn’t be me today and I wouldn’t be able to look back and be like, ‘I was part of the problem too.’ 25-year-old Deonna thought, ‘It’s them! It was them! It was them!’ And now, five years removed, I can be like, I had a lot to do with that (she laughed), and now I work to form better relationships and to act better and to be more professional and to bite my tongue a little bit more and I learned a lot from those worse times of my life.”
