Backstage Update On Contract Status Of Impact Wrestling's Deonna Purrazzo
Another major free agent is on the horizon, with former Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo the latest star to enter free agency soon.
According to a report from "Fightful Select," Purrazzo will become a free agent on January 1. As per the report, no deal with Impact has been reached and one of the reasons is because Purrazzo is looking to explore her options with other promotions. Her last date with the promotion is this weekend's Impact Wrestling Final Resolution tapings in Canada.
Sources that spoke with "Fightful" revealed there are no issues between Purrazzo and Impact Wrestling and the door is open for her return. While there were graphics of her for the Impact to TNA Wrestling name change, she won't be signing a contract anytime soon because of her interest in exploring her free agency.
Purrazzo joined Impact Wrestling in 2020 after WWE released her in the summer of 2020, which ended her two-year stint with the company. In her time with Impact, she held the Knockouts title three times and was also the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champion. Purrazzo also became the champion of other promotions while under contract with Impact. She was the ROH Women's Champion for 115 days, losing the title on the May 4, 2022 episode of "AEW Dynamite" to Mercedes Martinez, and was the AAA Reina de Reinas Champion for 252 days.
Earlier this year, Purrazzo stated that she would be open to a return to WWE despite her first run leaving her with a bitter taste.
