Predicting Where EVERY Released WWE Star Will Sign Next

Deonna Purrazzo looked a potential NXT breakout star this year, having finally settled into a regular TV spot, though she revealed last night that she'd been considering asking for her release before this all kicked in. She already had an eye on life away from WWE.

She'll be fine. 'The Virtuosa' was one of the most underrated wrestlers under WWE contract and is a slick technician with a smooth ground game and bags of potential. All Elite Wrestling seems a no-brainer, as Purrazzo would immediately be one of the more complete workers on the roster.

Destination: AEW.
