In a recent interview with the WrestlingINC Daily Podcast, former WWE NXT superstar Deonna Purrazzo discussed several topics, including her creative frustrations during her time in the company.

“I’ve said it in tons of interviews that I don’t know if maybe I shot myself in the foot thinking I was coming in in a better position. I was the first of my kind in women that had done so much as enhancement talent before and now had a job, I just thought that all of the struggles and hardships I went through as an enhancement talent, doing tryouts, being told no, being told not right now, that the tide had changed now that I had earned a contract.

I thought that I was ready to be a superstar and they had finally seen that in me through everything I did in ROH, Japan, traveling the world and reinventing myself to earn that opportunity, but ultimately, I didn’t. It seemed like everything I did was looked upon negatively or I didn’t get answers to and they just didn’t want to deal with me.”
