NXT has completely changed the game when it comes to women’s wrestling. Over the past two years, so many talented women have come through WWE developmental and NXT, but there are far more to come.

For example, NXT talent Deonna Purrazzo recently appeared on The Blake And Sal Show to discuss her career and what her experience has been like working at the WWE Performance Center.

You can listen to the full podcast right here. Below are some of the highlights:

Who was her biggest inspiration growing up in wrestling? 

“My biggest inspiration was Trish Stratus. I started watching wrestling when I was nine and that’s when I saw Trish and I saw Lita, Jazz, Jacqueline, Victoria, all of them and seeing them wrestle made know that I could do that one day.”

What was it like working with Nia Jax in her first NXT match?

“You can’t see it but I think I cried the whole match. Not because I was hurt, not because she was rough or anything but I was so thankful to be there and so nervous.

Is she looking to sign with NXT full-time? 

“I’m really happy doing everything I’ve able to do. I get to work for NXT, I get to work for TNA and Ring of Honor and do all these big companies all at once and that’s something that’s never been done before.”
