Deonna Purrazzo recently opened up about the WWE system

Deonna Purrazzo is a former WWE Superstar and during her two-year NXT run, she competed in the second edition of the Mae Young Classic. She will also challenge former NXT UK Women's Champion Rhea Ripley for her championship title.

During a recent interview on Busted Open Radio, the former AAA Reina de Reinas Champion talked about her experience under the WWE system. She opened up about the environment and how her dreams changed under the company. Purrazzo said:

“I think dreams change, I think as we get older and experience more things – like my dream was always to wrestle at WrestleMania and be, at the time, the Divas Champion. That’s all I knew in wrestling growing up, so that was my ultimate goal. Then I got there [to WWE], and it was like, I don’t like anything about this system, it’s just not a conducive environment for me and my dream changed." (H/T: WrestlingInc)
