IMPACT Wrestling star Deonna Purrazzo has spoken out about being a part of the IMPACT Knockouts division trailblazing new territory in wrestling.
No, not women’s wrestling – just wrestling!
Speaking to the Mark Hoke show, Deonna Purrazzo discussed what she hopes the next five years holds for her.
While she discussed having recently gotten married and hoping to become a Mom one day, she has professional plans in IMPACT over this next year of her contract with the company which include pushing boundaries.
Purrazzo said:
“In wrestling, I want to feel like I’ve done everything before I take a leave of absence and go be a mom. Specifically at IMPACT, for the Knockouts, there is a legacy. We continue to get opportunities to push boundaries and have the first-ever Knockouts Ultimate X match that Tasha Steelz won at Hard To Kill 2022, that same night we had the first-ever Knockouts World Championship pay-per-view (main event), myself and Mickie James, in the first-ever Texas Deathmatch. Mickie was in the second-ever pay-per-view main event against Jordynne Grace when she won the Knockouts World Championship.
“We’re continuing to get these opportunities, but it’s not as frequent as I would like. I want to see women main event all the time. I want it to be a regular thing. With that, not just because we’re women, but because we’re telling stories that warrant us getting the main event.
“In terms of what I’d like to do is be able to tell another incredible story similar to what I did to Mickie James and become a three-time Knockouts World Champion. That’s my ultimate goal in the next year. After that, it’s being able to settle down and be like, ‘I’m comfortable with where I’m at in wrestling’ and see what real life has for me. I’m in college, I graduate in July, there is some real life stuff going on that I’m really focused on and excited for in my future.”
Recently Purrazzo spoke about another potential goal for this next year: dethroning Mickie James for the Knockouts Championship! You can read more about that by clicking here.
