Deonna Purrazzo speaks on wrestler input in storylines.
For many wrestlers, input on their character and promos is a common part of the industry in the modern era, as writers and producers take on board their thoughts. This has been something that has been common place in All Elite Wrestling throughout it's run, as several wrestlers have explained that they have felt heard in the promotion with regard to their character work.
While speaking to The Digital Social Hour in a new interview, Deonna Purrazzo was asked about if wrestlers have input with their storylines.
"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."
Elsewhere in the same interview, Deonna spoke about how she feels Gail Kim is the Women's Wrestling GOAT. You can read more about that here.
