In a recent interview with Cultaholic’s Desert Island Graps podcast, IMPACT Wrestling’s Deonna Purrazzo discussed several topics, including the potential of a return to the WWE, potentially sharing the ring with STARDOM’s Giulia and more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On the potential of a return to the WWE: “I don’t want to say no, and I want to say yes, but I also think that it’s kind of the circumstance of it, I think I’m in a place where I’ve done a lot of partial rehabilitation to my career in the last 3 years, I’ve been able to turn the tide of what people say about me in the conversations I’m in and submit my place in history, and unfortunately my first time in NXT and WWE did a lot of damage to that and so, I think for me, it’s more about being cautious about maybe the situation I would be put in or something like that, but I don’t want to take it off the table, because it is WWE and as a kid, I didn’t know any other wrestling, my dream was to become a WWE superstar and my dream has evolved many times over during my career, but I think at the end of the day, it’s like that’s something I’m going to want to hold on to and say yes to, but I need to learn from my mistakes and do it different if I was going to.”
On sharing the ring with STARDOM’s Giulia for IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United 2: “I’m so excited and when I was told there was potential to do this, it was like absolutely, that’s someone I need to wrestle and it’s someone when fans talk about a dream match, has consistently popped up over the last few years and I just think it’s cool to see that our paths have never crossed, but we’ve been in so many similar places, me in Japan, her coming to the States and winning a Championship in Japan is something that eluded me until now, so I get the opportunity to compete for the New Japan STRONG Women’s Championship, that’s something I want to check off my list of things I’ve always wanted to do, I never got to win a Championship in STARDOM and now I have the possibility to from one of the top competitors there, it’s the perfect mix for me.”
