Deonna Purrazzo made her AEW in-ring debut on Saturday night’s episode of Collision, and she has a message for AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm – she’s coming for the title.
Taking to Twitter, Purrazzo wrote,
“Was that reminder enough for you, Toni? No? Then let me explain. I am The Virtuosa, Deonna Purrazzo. That means I possess outstanding technical abilities. And that is exactly what I displayed tonight. You see, it’s quite simple. I pinpoint the arm, I apply the Venus de Milo, and my opponent gives up. That’s what I’ve built my career on, that’s what led me to AEW. And Toni? One day, that’s what will lead me to the AEW Women’s World Championship.”

Scott Garland has been working backstage in AEW as a coach and producer in recent months, and the former Scotty 2 Hotty recently appeared on the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast to reveal how he landed the job.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how he began working for AEW: “So it was kind of out of nowhere. I’ve done a lot in Europe over the last couple of years wrestling-wise. I was in Europe in July, and I got a message from Sonjay Dutt asking if I’d be interested in coming in and trying out as a coach and producer. It was exciting. It kind of came out of nowhere. The only thing was, at the time, I had a five-week tour of Europe booked for November. So I started [working as a producer] at the end of July, and then I worked up until almost Halloween, and I left for five weeks. Then I just returned last week. So it’s kind of like I started, and then everything was put on pause, and then I came back. I’m excited now to really get into the groove and really dive in and start working with people.”
On his philosophy toward coaching and producing: “Coaching and producing, I always say the biggest part of it is creating relationships with your talent. You can’t start giving critiques or advice until you can, but I think you need that relationship first, you need their trust. You need them to realize that you’re not just some old guy going, ‘You can’t do that because that’s not how we used to do it’, and talking to them that way. You have to have that relationship and let them realize or make them realize that we’re all striving for the same goals and that’s to get bigger and better.”
