Xia Brookside And Deonna Purrazzo Close To WWE Deals
Both deals could extend beyond the next Mae Young Classic.
The Wrestling Observer are speculating that Deonna Purrazzo and 18-year old Xia Brookside (the daughter of Performance Center trainer Robbie) will soon ink deals with WWE.
Purrazzo worked a dark match before night two during the first Mae Young Classic tournament last July, and it's expected she will be in the WWE Network exclusive tournament proper this year. As for Brookside, she's already cancelled a summer tour with Stardom and told other promoters she's unable for bookings.
Officially, no reason has been given beyond that, but Brookside has been telling companies she has a big opportunity coming up soon. To Dave Meltzer, that means she's headed to WWE, the Mae Young Classic and (possibly, all going well) a full-time deal after that.
WWE have likely told both to keep their cards close to their chests and not openly discuss any plans with independent promotions or the media. That's presumably why Purrazzo and Brookside have been so tight-lipped, but the fact they're turning down summer time bookings elsewhere hints that they're NXT bound come the next start date in July.
