Deonna Purrazzo Talks Chelsea Green’s WWE Return And Success With Her Current Character

Deonna Purrazzo talks Chelsea Green returning to WWE. 

Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green are best friends. They were even Knockouts Tag Team Championship partners for a time in IMPACT Wrestling. At the Royal Rumble this year, Chelsea returned to WWE and has been featured on many of the weekly television programs ever since. 

During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Purrazzo commented on Chelsea being back in WWE, saying that she believes it was a better fit for her because Chelsea is a natural entertainer. 

“I think that for me, I’m a wrestler. I’m not necessarily an entertainer, and IMPACT Wrestling has given me the opportunity to show the world what I do best, and that’s wrestle and give me the space to be myself authentically and make mistakes and learn character but wrestle because that’s what I do best,” said The Virtuosa. “When Chelsea got released, it was really hard for her because WWE was the job she wanted from the day she got into wrestling, and she kind of did what she had to do to work her way back, and look at her now. 

“I said it time and time again, there’s no one I want more success for than Chelsea Green. If it can’t be me, I want it to be her and to see her week after week be her real self,” Purrazzo continued. “The theatrics on her face and the silly comment she made [on the July 10 WWE Raw] about, ‘Three strikes, you’re out, basketball,’ that’s Chelsea. That’s exactly who she wanted to be, and I’m so glad that her path took her back to WWE and gave her that character.” 

Chelsea Green captured her first WWE Championship ever on the July 17 episode of Monday Night Raw when she won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship alongside Sonya Deville. Fans can learn more about that here.
