One of the most talked about stories in AEW last week was the backstage feud between MJF and Britt Baker, a dispute that resulted in the DMD being fined and temporarily suspended.
AEW star Deonna Purrazzo shed some light on the story in a recent interview with Stephanie Chase. The Virtuosa was asked about the similarities between the AEW and TNA locker rooms and if this incident was really as big a deal as the public made it out to be. This is what she had to say:
Very similar. I think that was just an isolated incident (MJF & Britt Baker) that caused a lot of drama and also kind of took on a life of its own. The rumor mill starts to churn and things aren’t the way they were. People put their two cents in and that makes it a lot bigger than it was. I think that was an isolated incident because everything else I’ve experienced in that locker room has been supportive, encouraging and there was a lot of camaraderie. We’ve just recently celebrated people’s birthdays, eaten birthday cake and sang. I feel like that locker room doesn’t get the credit it deserves for that kind of camaraderie. I don’t know what it was like before. I can only speak from my experiences, but I feel like it doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
Baker has since returned to AEW and MJF was in action last night on Dynamite. You can read Purrazzo’s full interview below.
