Deonna Purrazzo is wrestling with a point to prove.
The reigning Impact Knockouts Champion is headlining this week’s Emergence special in a 30-minute Ironman Match against Jordynne Grace, but she was somehow deemed not ready for television during her time in WWE.
She rarely appeared on television in her WWE run, which started in the spring of 2018 and ended in April with the company’s round of massive layoffs. Yet the woman who refers to herself as “The Virtuosa” never stopped working toward her goal, which was crafting a masterpiece of a match that would force the entire wrestling realm to cast their eyes in her direction.
