The worlds of Jersey Shore and professional wrestling collided over ten years ago when Snooki appeared at WrestleMania 27. Deonna Purrazzo is still a huge fan of the Jersey Shore star. Snooki's best friend JWoww was also briefly involved in the business after she appeared on IMPACT back in 2010.
Even more recently, Mike "The Situation" appeared on an AEW: Dark Elavation taping, causing a distraction.
Speaking to Brandon Walker at Rasslin' about her love of the New Jersey icon, Purrazzo said:
"It's my dream to meet Snooki, I love her so much,'' Purrazzo said. ''She was at AEW a couple of weeks ago when they were here in Jersey and I was very, very, very jealous of the people that got to meet Snooki” (H/T Fightful)
Deonna Purrazzo then compared herself and Chelsea Green to Jersey Shore stars Snooki and JWoww, claiming:
"She's JWoww. I'm Snooki, she's JWoww. I'm from Jersey and I'm the short one of the two of us. I'm probably the drunker one of the two of us.” (H/T Fightful)
