In January, Deonna Purrazzo debuted for AEW following the expiration of her TNA contract.
Purrazzo made her official AEW debut on the January 3rd episode of Dynamite. On the January 13th episode of Collision, the former TNA Knockouts Champion made her AEW in-ring debut by defeating Red Velvet.
On a recent edition of the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, Purrazzo discussed her transition from TNA to AEW. She said,
“I really just think it’s been the scale of the company. Impact was Impact when I was there, it’s officially TNA now. I don’t want to say it’s a skeleton crew, but it is.”
She continued, “Everyone has multiple jobs, we’re in smaller venues, there are smaller crowds. If I need to fix my travel, there’s one person that does that. If I need comp tickets for my family, there’s one person that does that and I think adjusting to not knowing who is what department and who to go to for whatever question I have, and just the scale of production here in AEW is such a difference for me.”
Deonna Purrazzo Discusses Transition from TNA to AEW
In January, professional wrestler Deonna Purrazzo made her debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) after her contract with Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling expired. Since then, she has been making waves in the AEW roster and has already showcased her skills in the ring.
Purrazzo’s official AEW debut took place on the January 3rd episode of Dynamite. However, it was on the January 13th episode of Collision where she had her first in-ring match for AEW, defeating Red Velvet. The former TNA Knockouts Champion has quickly become a prominent figure in the women’s division of AEW.
Recently, Purrazzo appeared on the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast to discuss her transition from TNA to AEW. One of the main differences she highlighted was the scale of the company. According to Purrazzo, TNA, now officially known as Impact, operated on a smaller scale compared to AEW.
She mentioned that while working for TNA, there were fewer resources available. The company had a smaller crew, smaller venues, and smaller crowds. This meant that everyone had multiple jobs and there was a limited number of people to approach for various tasks. For example, if she needed to fix her travel arrangements or get comp tickets for her family, there was only one person responsible for each task.
Purrazzo expressed that adjusting to the larger scale of AEW has been a significant difference for her. In AEW, there are more departments and individuals dedicated to specific tasks, making it easier for wrestlers to navigate and get their needs met. The production value and overall grandeur of AEW events have also impressed Purrazzo.
The transition from TNA to AEW has allowed Purrazzo to experience a new level of professionalism and support within the wrestling industry. With AEW’s larger platform and resources, she has been able to focus more on her wrestling career and less on the logistical aspects of her job.
Since joining AEW, Purrazzo has been involved in various storylines and matches, showcasing her technical prowess and ring presence. Her debut match against Red Velvet was a testament to her abilities, and fans are excited to see what she brings to the women’s division in the future.
In conclusion, Deonna Purrazzo’s transition from TNA to AEW has provided her with new opportunities and a larger platform to showcase her talent. The scale of AEW has allowed her to focus more on her wrestling career, with a dedicated team supporting her needs. As she continues to make her mark in AEW, fans eagerly anticipate her future matches and contributions to the promotion’s growing women’s division.
