Steve Maclin is one of the top free agents on the market when it comes to pro wrestling.
He parted ways with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) at the top of his game and immediately made his presence known when he stepped up to the plate and put on an incredible match with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Adam Copeland at Maple Leaf Pro’s Northern Rising earlier this year.

It makes any pro wrestling fan wonder where Maclin’s next home is going to be. Deonna Purrazzo, Maclin’s wife and Ring of Honor women’s pure champion, told OutKick Dropkick she could see Maclin in AEW if he wanted to be there.
“I definitely think there’s a place for him here,” she said in an interview earlier this week. “I’m Steve’s biggest fan, obviously, right? We’re talking today. It’s our fourth wedding anniversary today, and so, obviously I wouldn’t have married him if I didn’t believe in him and I wasn’t his biggest fan, but I think that he has to go where he’s happy, right? And he has to go where he thinks he can contribute the best, and I do believe that there would be a spot for him on AEW. I do believe there’s a spot, maybe versus Bandido for the Ring of Honor World Championship.

“Steve is such a phenomenal wrestler, and I think there’s so much of Steve that also while we’re talking, it’s the 251st Marine Corps birthday, and there’s a piece of Steve that carries that and what it means to be a Marine with him everywhere he goes, especially in the ring. He’s not just trying to engage the fans and engage the audience at home, but he’s also trying to live fully for the brothers who didn’t get to make it home. I think that intensity that he brings translates so much to where the best wrestle, which is AEW.”
Copeland defeated Maclin at Northern Rising, even as Purrazzo came out to assist her husband.
But Maclin left little doubt that he can hang with one of the best wrestlers of this generation. For now, he’s tearing it up on the independent scene.
Maclin was at JTown Smackdown – the event hosted by Purrazzo to raise awareness about funding issues plaguing school districts in New Jersey.
