Deonna Purrazzo hopes to be a great representative of the Ring Of Honor brand as its new Women’s Champion.
Daniel Yanofsky of Sporting News recently spoke with Deonna Purrazzo about her Ring Of Honor Women’s Championship win and how it feels to be the ‘Champ Champ’ again.
“It feels great! Unfortunately, I was not able to regain my Knockouts Championship at Hard to Kill, but winning the Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship is really exciting for me, it’s a full-circle feeling. I was really happy to help cross those bridges with IMPACT and Ring of Honor, but to also represent ROH during this unprecedented time for them.”
Purrazzo was asked her goals for the championship and if she could see herself being like ROH Champion Jonathan Gresham and being a traveling world champion. Purrazzo said she definitely could see that happening, praising Gresham for representing ROH before saying she hopes to do something similar with her title.
“Absolutely, especially with the unprecedented times they are in. It’s interesting to have Jonathan Gresham wrestling on IMPACT, fighting Steve Maclin in a Pure Rules championship match. I love that Ring of Honor is represented, whether on IMPACT Wrestling, an independent show, wherever it is. It is a brand that means a lot to me personally from my time there. It helped develop who Deonna Purrazzo, “The Virtuosa” was going to be as a wrestler. Now that I have the championship, I don’t know if I will be defending it under Pure Rules, but it does mean the world to me to be the ROH Women’s World Champion. I want to defend it and carry on the ROH brand wherever and however I can.”
