Deonna Purrazzo Comments on Not Viewing AEW Women’s Locker Room as Competition & Says “We Support Each Other”

A recent episode of WrestlingNewsCo’s Velvet Ropes with SoCal Val podcast featured Deonna Purrazzo as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Purrazzo’s thoughts about her praise of AEW’s Women’s locker room and how she does not view them as competition and instead they support each other.

“As a women, I don’t see other women as my competition. I love to be around other women who support each other and want to grow our industry and our division together. I feel like, especially when I first started in AEW, that was kind of the vibe. It was like, ‘Okay, we’re just on this upward trajectory, and we need to keep pushing and pushing to tell better stories, and pushing to get more time, and telling them we want to work. Let us do everything.’ We have seen that over the last two years that I’ve been there, pay off. We’ve seen Toni Storm and Mariah may culminate in this like bloody catastrophe nightmare of a match. People online were arguing that it deserved to be the main event. That’s a division I want to be a part.

I want to be part of a group of women who are pushing the envelope and saying, ‘We deserve more.’ Then you have Mercedes Mone, who’s killing it right now, and, I mean, she’s just always been a phenomenal wrestler, but is on a completely new level right now, and again, pushing for those boundaries to be broken. So I just hope that while I’m here, I can see women be the first main event. I can see, maybe, tag titles be introduced, and women just getting more opportunities on our television show every week.”
