Deonna Purrazzo recently appeared as a guest on Busted Open Radio for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the ROH Women's Champion spoke about feeling jittery all week in anticipation of her AEW Dynamite debut, her thoughts on the most recent WWE roster cuts, as well as how she has been thriving in IMPACT Wrestling.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where she touches on these topics with her thoughts.
On how she has been jittery all week in anticipation to her Dynamite debut: “I’ve kind of been a little jittery all week. I feel like I do always get butterflies and I don’t particularly sleep well before big things like this, whether it’s our IMPACT pay-per-views or tonight on Dynamite. I’m a little anxious. I just want to get the day started, and I want to get there. I’m walking into new territory. I don’t know a lot of these people at AEW, or I haven’t seen them in years. It’s gonna be like getting back in my groove in this new place with some new and familiar people, but I’m like a newbie here.”
On her thoughts on the latest round of WWE cuts: “I was talking a bit about this last night. The new round of [WWE] releases and how, but not to compare because everyone’s situation is different, but that first round that I was in, there was a pandemic and there wasn’t independent wrestling happening, and there weren’t companies necessarily hiring a lot of people. It was just a very weird period for everybody.”
On how she has thrived in IMPACT: “I was really able to thrive at IMPACT, and really not need the independent bookings and not do the signings because IMPACT has figured out a way to showcase everybody, and use social media to our advantage and do something like Wrestle House, where more people were being showcased in different ways, and I got to benefit from that.”
