Deonna Purrazzo: It’s A Driving Force For WWE To Want Me Back
Deonna Purrazzo is the reigning IMPACT Knockouts Champion and one of the top female wrestlers in all of wrestling.
After failing to find her footing on NXT television, Purrazzo has thrived outside of WWE whether competing in IMPACT, AAA, or on the Independent scene.
Speaking to Renee Paquette on Oral Sessions, Purrazzo was asked if she would ever consider going back to WWE despite her unhappiness with the promotion the first time around and her success following her release.
“I think that was always my goal as a kid. I didn’t know all these other promotions existed. I was a WWE fan. For me, the goal was to always be on WrestleMania and be the women’s champion. There will always be a part of me that’s like, ‘I wish it turned out differently.’ Never say never and if there’s an opportunity, maybe I would go. It drives me every day to work hard to get that phone call and then be like, ‘Oh, me? The difficult one? I don’t know, I’m going to have to think about that.’ It’s a driving force for them to want me back, definitely. I won’t say no, because never say never, but sometimes I feel like, no, fuck you guys. You had me for so many years, even before I was signed. For so many years they could have done something and I was always put on the back burner. Now, I’m thriving,” she said.
Despite being on TV for multiple matches, Purrazzo never picked up a win on WWE TV.
She was released by the company in April 2020 and immediately became a focal point once joining IMPACT in May.
