Deonna Purrazzo Wants To Have More Input With Her Storylines In AEW Like Mercedes Mone

In an interview with the The Digital Social Hour (via A href=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/deonna-purrazzo-mercedes-mone-has-open-forum-suggest-ideas-herself-i-m-going-get-myself-position target=new>Fightful), Deonna Purrazzo spoke about how certain wrestlers in AEW do have creative input and she wants to be able to be in that position. She specifically cited Mercedes Mone as someone writers and producers listen to when writing storylines.

She said: “Yeah, it kind of depends on where you are. Like for me, I don’t get too much input in that, but there are women above me at AEW that do get more input. So it kind of just depends where you come from, what your status is, and things like that. Right now, Mercedes Mone, who was Sasha Banks in WWE, kind of gets that open forum to be like, I’d like to work with this person, and these are my ideas, and then the writers kind of, not necessarily conform, but they do listen to what she has to say. I don’t necessarily have that type of pull per se, but I definitely think that women are growing in that position in our industry. It just takes role models to be like, I’m going to break that mold. I’m going to push that boundary. I’m going to get myself in that position to then let other people follow in their footsteps.“
