AEW star Deonna Purrazzo recently spoke with SHAK Wrestling on a number of topics including her emotions at the time of her WWE release and joining TNA soon after.
Purrazzo said, โIt was different coming into AEW.โ โI was a completely different person than when I started with then Impact Wrestling. I was just off of being released from NXT, kind of not doing anything. Honestly, I was in a really weird personal space that I didnโt even know if I wanted to keep wrestling at that point. I just had completely fallen out of love with the only thing I ever loved. So it was a really weird [feeling of] I donโt even know who I am anymore.โ
โWhen I spoke to [Impact executive] Scott DโAmore, and this was back in April 2020, we had a really good understanding of the place that I was in. We were just going to feel it out and see how I felt coming in, and if it was going to be long term, then weโd talk later down the road.โ
