Deonna Purrazzo: AEW Is So Great About Encouraging Talent To Go Back To School
Deonna Purrazzo continues to hit the books thanks in part to AEW.
In between her work in the ring, Deonna Purrazzo is also working toward obtaining a master’s degree following her graduation from Southern New Hampshire University in 2023. During a recent interview with WrestlingNewsCo, Purrazzo revealed that her wrestling and school studies actually link together, as All Elite Wrestling, her home promotion, offers some financial assistance.
“AEW is so great encouraging us to go back to school,” she said. “They are constantly like if you go back, they have a program where they reimburse us for our tuition up to a certain amount every year. They are so on board with if that’s something you want to do, we want to support it. So that was a really big part of why I was happy to go there. I had just gotten my bachelor’s degree in the summer of 2023. I was like ‘Maybe I want to get a master’s,’ but going somewhere that’s going to be supportive of that was huge for me. So I’m very, very grateful that they’ve made it so easy and so seamless for me to be able to go back to school. I’m halfway through my master’s degree.”
Currently, Purrazzo is on her way to a master’s degree in political science. Prior to that, she earned a bachelor’s in history, a subject often tied to her wrestling persona as “The Virtuosa.”
Outside of AEW, Purrazzo also competes on the indie circuit, with her latest match against Lili La Pescadita taking her to Chicago Style Wrestling on August 15.
