Deonna Purrazzo: I’m Really Excited About Working With New Japan, The Possibilities Are Endless

Deonna Purrazzo would love the opportunity to go back to Japan.

In an interview with The Wrestling Classic, AEW’s Deonna Purrazzo spoke about how the women’s division has been growing more and more in the last year. Purrazzo praised the women for working towards getting better with matches at STARDOM and New Japan Strong, plus, the Virtuosa wants an opportunity to go back to Japan and work with all the great talent there as well.

“That was the goal coming into this year. I was the first big signee of 2024, I got to debut in New Jersey, in my hometown, it was from day one incredible. So, to now see how that division is growing, Mercedes coming in March and Anna Jay just got back from a tour in STARDOM. Also, the New Japan STRONG Women’s Champion, so there’s that partnership with New Japan there. To see how our women’s division has grown tremendously, the people who are like OGs like an Anna, like Julia Hart, see what she’s done over the last year. It’s just a really incredible division and I see so much potential in all of the girls and so many stories that I could tell with them but so many stories they could tell within themselves. Then, all the partnerships that we have elsewhere. I would love to go back to Japan, I would love to work with New Japan a little bit more. The possibilities are endless, I’m just really excited about it.”

Purrazzo recently celebrated her first anniversary with All Elite Wrestling after making her debut in front of her home.
