AEW star hinted at frustration regarding her booking
Deonna Purrazzo seemingly expressed frustration regarding her booking in AEW two months ago. Taking to her X handle, The Virtuosa said she was still passionate about wrestling despite being a 13-year veteran.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve wrestled 3 matches in 3 days. I’m still tired & I’m still sore… but as I begin my 13th year of wrestling, I’m still as hungry as I was year 1. And I refuse to sit back and feel as though my peers are passing me by. I AM the standard. Always have been and I’m coming to reclaim MY crown. VIRTUOSA 👁️," Purrazzo wrote.
Many fans have been clamoring to see Deonna Purrazzo back in All Elite Wrestling. They will have to wait and see when Tony Khan announces her AEW comeback.
