Deonna Purrazzo joined IMPACT Wrestling in 2020 after being released by WWE. She is currently 124-days into her second IMPACT Knockouts title reign having successfully defended her title against Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, and ODB. Rok-C is one of the fastest rising stars in the rich Texas independent scene, where she’s a former Reality of Wrestling (ROW) Diamonds Division Champion, with a reign of 315-days. This will be the first IMPACT Knockouts title defense at an independent promotion since Jordynne Grace defended against Jessicka Havok at Sacrifice in February 2020, which was an IMPACT co-production with Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). It will be the first IMPACT Knockouts title defense held at a completely independent show since Rosemary defended against now All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Shanna at a Kamikaze Pro show in Birmingham, England in February 2017 (Rosemary had another one at British Empire Wrestling (BEW) in late 2016). This will also be the first US-based indie to house a Knockouts title match since Mickie James defended her title at a series of shows for Big Time Wrestling in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland (against Matt Hardy‘s wife, then wrestling as Reby Sky) in 2013.
