10 WWE Releases AEW Needs To Sign
8. Deonna Purrazzo
AEW has been an objective creative success to date, producing excellent wrestling programming that has offered a little bit of something to everyone. The vast majority of its creative moves have been a home run, but the poor handling of the women’s division remains the blackest of black eyes in the first year of the promotion. Kenny Omega said he wanted to have the women’s division as a major focus of the company, but that simply hasn’t been the case.
Simply signing people isn’t going to fix the problems with AEW’s women’s division, but Deonna Purrazzo is too talented for the company to pass up. The Virtuosa was one of a number of under-utilized talents on NXT’s female roster, and she deserves a hell of a lot more than being squashed by Nia Jax in front of approximately zero fans.
Purrazzo is a technical wrestler with ring presence way behind her years, and that sort of thing is only going to improve as time goes by. She would be a fantastic addition to AEW’s struggling women’s division.
