The current Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo managed to be in WWE for six long years. Even though she did not get any special treatment. She had always been treated as an undercard jobber.
After she joined Impact Wrestling questions have been started to be asked by the fans, why did WWE overlook such a talent? Deonna Purrazzo is the current and a two times Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion. There is a strong rumor that she is even being scouted by the All Elite Wrestling.
Deonna Purrazzo On Her NXT Days
The 26 year old recently spoke with Yahoo! Sports where she talked about her NXT days, how she was asked to lose again and again to one single individual. She also revealed that she received mail from WWE but she was not interested. She spoke about her future goals too. Here are some highlights;
On the email she got from NXT regarding losing to the same wrestler over and over again:
Which brings me back to that email. I’d been asked to report to a TV taping to lose to a fellow performer who’d already beaten me in quick fashion three times recently. After a year of frustration and doing anything I could to please, I finally stood up for myself by — politely — suggesting an alternative: Couldn’t I lose to someone new? Wouldn’t wrestle someone different make sense all around? The answer came back, no, you are losing to the same wrestler. No discussion, no “we understand your concern,” no sign that one side of this professional relationship was prepared to listen to the other.
Says she emailed them and said she wasn’t interested in being part of the taping:
Something changed in me. I thought about it and then I emailed back, with respect, that wasn’t in my own interests and I’d prefer not to be part of that television taping. It was very liberating. I felt like I did when I was wrestling on the independent circuit, ready to take a chance on myself again.
Says Madison Rayne instantly put her in touch with Scott D’Amore after she got fired:
Sure enough, a few days later I was fired. Within minutes my friend Madison Rayne called me and started putting things in motion for me to speak to Scott D’Amore, who runs IMPACT. Scott had heard reports that I was “difficult” but said he liked to treat people as he found them. Then he asked me something I’d be dying to hear for a very long time: He asked who I was and how I presented that on television.
Deonna Purrazzo finally saw the face of success under Impact Wrestling which is good to see because she actually deserves it. One may say Impact Wrestling is past its prime so if she gets an offer from the All Elite Wrestling she should not wait for anything. We agree to this point on some aspects, a chance to be a member of the AEW would be really great for her career.
