TNA/IMPACT Wrestling star Deonna Purrazzo recently spoke with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful on a number of topics including her decision to work in the company without a contract in 2020.
Purrazzo said, โI got, and IMPACT got a lot of s**t for that, but honestly it was my choice.โ โI had come out of a contract with Ring Of Honor that I was not happy with. Went to NXT, was very unhappy in NXT.โ
โSo going into this whatever it was gonna be with IMPACT, I was very hesitant of like, do I want to be locked down, do I want to wrestle anymore, I donโt know that any place is a good fit for me. So, letโs just start the relationship a little trebadicous and go from there. So it was 100% me, Iโm not ready to sign a contract but then it came down to, now youโre the champion, we need to lock something in. At that point, I had been with IMPACT for five months and felt so confident, it felt like home. I had no issues at all signing a contract then.โ
