Following her unexpected WWE release in 2020, Deonna Purrazzo signed with Impact Wrestling and quickly rose through the ranks in the women’s division. In just two years, Purrazzo has cemented her legacy as a decorated Impact Women’s Champion.
During a recent appearance on the “Counted Out with Mike & Tyler” podcast, Purrazzo addressed Eric Young being “stabbed to death” by Deaner. The segment was filmed for the purpose of writing Young off television, and it appears that Purrazzo is fond of Impact Wrestling’s approach to writing talent out of the company. She said,
“I really think that Impact does a really great job of introducing people and then writing people off. We saw Dean kind of kill EY [laughs], but that’s not just what Violent By Design was. EY has been, not the heart and soul because that’s someone else’s thing, but the heart and soul of Impact Wrestling for 20 years. So I think that for them to do him justice all these years, then to write him off in a way that is now building somebody else, is what Impact does great. Great, great debuts for people, but then also really thoughtful way of saying, ‘You did what you needed to do here, you’re putting the guy over on the way out. Now, best of luck.’ So I think that I was incredible.”
Purrazzo further praised the diversity of on-screen storylines and matches in which Impact Wrestling caters to its audience.
“I think Impact does really great all across the board in any genre of wrestling, whether it’s mysterious Violent By Design stuff, whether it’s serious Josh Alexander, multiple times, he’s done hour-long matches on television, whether it’s giving Knockouts another platform for main-event pay-per-view matches or main-event television matches, 20-plus minute matches, multiple women’s segments, there’s something for everyone in what we do. So it’s really exciting to see people are giving us a chance again and really investing in what Impact Wrestling is doing.”
