Deonna Purrazzo recently hinted at her disappointing treatment in AEW during an episode of AEW Dynamite, making bold predictions about her minimal usage. Now that the show has aired, her concerns have been confirmed as she remains largely underutilized by the company.
This began on X (formerly Twitter) when fans inquired if Purrazzo would be promoted to the Dynamite roster. Virtuosa replied that she might only find herself “in the picture, perhaps,” but not actively competing.
On the June 4th episode of AEW Dynamite, Purrazzo did make an appearance, but not as a wrestler. Instead, she featured in a commercial segment for Southern New Hampshire University.
Her involvement sparked online discussions, prompting responses from wrestlers and fans alike. In a post on X, Purrazzo expressed her honor at being part of the commercial and mentioned she never expected it to air during Dynamite.
What started as a lighthearted comment turned into frustration among many fans over how underused the former TNA Knockouts World Champion has been. With no clear plans for her future AEW matches, fans might be waiting a long time to see her back in action.
Fan Take: This situation matters to AEW fans because it highlights potential issues in how talent is being utilized, which could affect the company’s overall growth and viewer satisfaction. If top wrestlers like Purrazzo remain sidelined, it might diminish AEW’s competitive edge and the depth of excitement for the sport.
