Deonna Purrazzo Says She’s Potentially Interested In Political Career

Deonna Purrazzo has a master’s degree in political science, and she says she has considered going into politics as a career. Purrazzo earned her degree after exiting WWE, and she spoke about the matter in an interview with Jim Varsallone where she noted that she interned for an unnamed Senator over the summer.

“So my master’s degree is in political science,” Purrazzo said (per Fightful). “And this summer, I was really fortunate to take an internship in a Senate office, and I had such a great time learning about something that is not wrestling-related. Obviously, we’ve talked about our long history in wrestling. We’ve each been wrestling for 13 years, and so it’s really been fun to explore these transitions. Post-WWE back in 2020, I figured out who else I want to be, and part of that was going to school, getting a degree. I would have never thought 20 years ago that I’d be studying political science, working in a Senate office, or saying that one day I’m going to be the first female governor of Florida.”

She continued, “But who knows what’s going to happen, and that’s what’s been really fun about our success: it’s opened up the avenues to really have aspirations elsewhere. Obviously, we’ve been able to really use our voice and our platform for advocacy for veterans and our first responders, and that’s big in our household, but I think that’s what’s made the wrestling success so worth it is now we have this voice and this platform to be able to give back to others.”

Purrazzo is part of the AEW & ROH roster, and most recently competed on the September 11th episode of ROH on HonorClub.
