Deonna Purrazzo Talks About Adjusting To AEW, ‘The Scale Of Production Is Such A Difference For Me’

Deonna Purrazzo talks the differences between TNA and AEW.

Purrazzo signed with AEW at the beginning of 2024, just days after departing from IMPACT Wrestling. ‘The Virtuosa’ has quickly made quite the impression on the fans of All Elite Wrestling, as she’s picked up wins over the likes of Taya Valkyrie and Red Velvet.

While speaking to AEW’s Unrestricted podcast for a new interview, Purrazzo compared some of the differences between the two promotions and talked about how she is adjusting to them.

“I really just think it’s been the scale of the company. IMPACT was IMPACT when I was there, it’s officially TNA now. I don’t want to say it’s a skelton crew, but it is. Everyone has multiple jobs, we’re in smaller venues, there are smaller crowds. If I need to fix my travel, there’s one person that does that. If I need comp tickets for my family, there’s one person that does that and I think adjusting to not knowing who is what department and who to go to for whatever question I have, and just the scale of production here in AEW is such a difference for me.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Purrazzo said that she found out about her AEW debut the night before it happened. Fans can learn more here.
