Deonna Purrazzo has arrived and she already has her sights set on the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Championship.
Jordynne Grace successfully defended her Knockouts Championship over Taya Valkyrie, but the celebration was cut short as Purrazzo came to the ring. Deonna pointed at Grace’s title and asked for a handshake, but pulled Grace down to the mat and put her in an armbar. Deonna posed over Grace and the title to end the show.
