In a recent interview with the Talk Is Jericho podcast, All Elite Wrestling star Deonna Purrazzo discussed several topics, including her time in WWE NXT, her release from the company and much more.

“I think I was a little bit too vocal about the things that I thought weren’t right, or should be changed, and then when it came to me being TV ready or whatever, I was very vocal about like, just tell me what you don’t like and what you do like and I’ll do the things you do like, and I’ll work on the things you don’t like, just be straight up.

I’m a 100% honest person, just be honest with me, no one could tell me we don’t like this, we do like this, and finally I just had a breaking point of like, this isn’t working for anybody, it sure as hell is not working for me, so either you’re going to tell me what I’m doing wrong and I could fix it so I could be on TV, because I came here to be a TV star, or I’m not going to be a TV star and you should just let me go, and yeah, I was let go four weeks later.

I’ll always be just straight up, this is what my problem is, this is what I need clarity on and I need that back, it’s like a mutual respect thing and I think I just got to a breaking point where I’m like, you’re not respecting me, so now, I don’t respect you.

This isn’t good for anybody, because I remember sitting in someone’s office, like in a screaming fight and I’m like, that’s not who I am, Deonna Purrazzo, the professional doesn’t do that, but now I’m like, Jersey Deonna, angry at home and you don’t want to bring that to work, so I think I was very vocal, and it got me a bad reputation and then, I couldn’t undo that.”
