Since then, Purrazzo has established herself as the top women&#8217;s competitor in IMPACT Wrestling. She also made history last month, when she defended the title in the first-ever Knockouts 30-minute Iron Man Match. Simply put, she entered IMPACT Wrestling as a star and her light has shined bright ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining IMPACT this year, Purrazzo was part of <strong>WWE<\/strong>, where she worked full time from the spring of 2018 up until this past April. Though she failed to win any championships, \u201cThe Virtuosa\u201d appeared on WWE programming multiple times. She also competed in the second <strong><em>Mae Young Classic<\/em><\/strong>, where she bested <strong>Priscilla Kelly<\/strong> and <strong>Xia Li<\/strong> before eventually falling to current <strong>NXT<\/strong> Women&#8217;s Champion <strong>Io Shirai<\/strong>. Other pre-IMPACT accomplishments of Purrazzo&#8217;s include the GCW Women&#8217;s Championship. She won the title in 2016 and was their last recognized titleholder before it became inactive the same year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a1rV7SAqzZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/a1rV7SAqzZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The Virtuosa (@DeonnaPurrazzo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeonnaPurrazzo\/status\/1304952304701931523?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to competitors for <em>Josh Barnett&#8217;s Bloodsport 3<\/em>, Purrazzo&#8217;s style fits.
