During her recent interview with Busted Open Radio, Deonna Purrazzo spoke about the AEW Women’s division.
In the midst of the discussion, the Impact Knockouts Champion listed the AEW stars she would like to go toe-to-toe with , and she even pitched an idea for a pretty big match. Purrazzo said:
"My number one answer is to always have that champion vs. champion match," Purrazzo said. "But then someone like Thunder Rosa, who had the first women’s main event and probably of the matches of the year against my best friend Britt Baker. I kind of want to get revenge for Britt, but I’d also love to wrestle Britt. These are women who have cemented themselves at the top of the AEW women’s division and if I’m at the top of the Knockouts division, which I am, I want to compete against the best.”
Deonna continued to talk about the current AEW/Impact crossover, and she made a push for inter-promotional women’s matchups. Purrazzo explained:
"As an advocate for women’s wrestling, I want women to be part of [interpromotional matches]," Purrazzo continued. "Wrestling isn’t the boys club anymore. I want our Knockouts Championship to be contended for all over the world. I know that whoever is in charge of the AEW women’s division and Tony Khan want their championship to be held in the same contention. So, if we can have Kenny vs. Rich, champion vs. champion, why can’t we have Deonna vs. Shida? Our division is continuously growing and is one of the best in the world. Their division, in the same light, is continuously growing and is becoming one of the best in the world.”
Deonna successfully retained her title at Impact Wrestling’s Rebellion event, after defeating Tenille Dashwood.
