Speaking on The Digital Social Hour, Purrazzo disclosed that the TBS Champion Mercedes Mone gets the creative input in Tony Khan's promotion:"Yeah, it kind of depends on where you are. Like for me, I don't get too much input in that, but there are women above me at AEW that [sic] do get more input. So it kind of just depends where you come from, what your status is, and things like that. Right now, Mercedes Mone, who was Sasha Banks in WWE, kind of gets that open forum to be like, 'I'd like to work with this person, and these are my ideas,' and then the writers kind of, not necessarily conform, but they do listen to what she has to say," Deonna said.Purrazzo also admitted that she is not in a position to give her own creative input in Tony Khan's promotion.
