Kenny Omega reacted to criticism from one fan over AEW not signing former WWE NXT star Deonna Purrazzo, who recently joined Impact Wrestling. Here’s the exchange:
Fan: “So word is Deonna Purrazzo is heading to Impact Wrestling. My 1st thought. How is a company like Impact Wrestling, able to have a women’s division that’s 10 times better than AEW’s? Esp when AEW needs all the help they can get for that division? @KennyOmegamanX drops ball again!”
Omega: “Truly happy for Deonna but I’m incredibly proud of our division and its athletes. You should try watching some of our matches. Start with the recent title match from a few days ago and then honestly tell me we need help.”
Fan: “With all due respect. I’ve watched them all. Women’s wrestling is pretty much all I watch. From all company’s. I’m sorry to say, & I’m not alone in this feeling. But aside from a couple others, Only thing you’ve really done right is that last match. Improve it is all I ask.”
Omega: “Some strong thoughts that I very much disagree with, but that’s completely fine. Watch what you enjoy, sir.”
