I would love Scott D'amore in AEW. Make him the main booker & head of creative if he indeed comes to AEW. Tony should just focus on running ROH with Bryan Danielson, Mox and Jericho. Scott D'amore, The Elite, Christopher Daniels and Jeff Jarrett should be the ones running AEW day to day.

[@ShakWrestling]

I do think Scott would be an asset to AEW

[@huepfheld]

After a building up Deonna for several months, I could imagine a match against Mercedes Monet.

[@cesarcanete3402]

I have a feeling Britt is gonna make her return & her Collision debut this Saturday in Thunder Rosa and Deonna's no DQ match. Britt is Deonna's BFF and hates Thunder Rosa IRL, so this would be a great thing to do with AEW rebuilding in the dark period rn. I believe that Britt's absence has to do with Thunder Rosa being back actively wrestling, but I also believe that they work something out and would be willing to put their differences aside and work together for the company's sake. CM Punk and Eddie Kingston were able to work together in AEW despite hating each other's guts, so I'm sure the same can happen with Britt and Thunder.

[@ShakWrestling]

I would LOVE to see Britt back

[@Longhorns41793]

Great interview! Absolutely love Deonna! So glad she got her passion back for wrestling and came to AEW! Looking forward to what she does there

[@ShakWrestling]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jorgitoo.13]

I can’t wait to see what she does next

[@stewartjames]

in my eyes deonna is a role model for the womans division and she is so humble plus she loves wrestling

[@ShakWrestling]

So glad she stuck around!

[@willyousay]

Women's Division dream match? Athena vs. Toni Storm: Title for Title. There's a lot to be explored with this matchup. Both Athena and Toni Storm are dominant champions, and they both have fantastic proteges who could also potentially feud.

[@ShakWrestling]

Surprised we don't see Athena more on the main roster

[@connerhuston2613]

I have absolutely NO IDEA of the path or direction they are going in. HOWEVER, one direction they could go in is Deonna wins this feud with Thunder Rosa. After that not sure Mercades (who i assume is going to win at Forbidden door) goes on to Wimbley and faces Sayara (paige) Then in November at Full Gear PPV, ( which is taking place, NEWARK NEW JERSEY ) faces Deonna and drops the TBS then. Giving Deonna a win in her home state. Just wild guessing on my part and obviously there is an issue or two but.

[@ShakWrestling]

Owen Hart Cup should hopefully be a good showcase for the women this summer. Deonna included!

[@tomvallejo2438]

I would love to see you tag with Tessa Blanchard in aew and maybe tony khan would have tag team titles for women or at least sixman champions for women

[@ShakWrestling]

That's a fun idea!

[@gemayelphifer7627]

Nothing better than a talented hottie who loves wrestling.

[@ianstephenson9721]

She's right. People from New Jersey will fucking tell you that they are from New Jersey. Source: I never shut up about how New Jerseyan I am.

[@cesarcanete3402]

Deonna is sooo freaking hot!!! One of the finest looking women in pro wrestling right now as well as the best in the ring. That Steve Maclin is one very lucky man.

[@willyousay]

As for Deonna, putting her in a cage match with Thunder Rosa would be a bout people would never stop talking about.

[@ShakWrestling]

That would be sick

[@Chickenpotpieman]

I understand I haven't liked wrestling since the early 90s.

[@ShakWrestling]

Do you still watch at all?

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

I truly hope "The Virtuosa" returns to TNA wrestling after her AEW contract expires!

[@ShakWrestling]

Not happy with her run?

[@HappyCentaur-jm9lm]

I agree. Personally, I've found her AEW run to be underwhelming. Had she stayed in TNA, I think she could've been the next Gail Kim - in terms of helping the newcomers of the Knockouts Division grow with great matches and segments.
