Deonna Purrazzo chooses her hypothetical WrestleMania opponent.
During a recent interview with Gabby AF, the three-time IMPACT Knockouts World Champion was asked who she would want to challenge at WrestleMania if she were to hypothetically win the 2024 Royal Rumble, given her looming free agency.
“Oo, that’s tough,” Purrazzo said. “I wish I could choose both of them. So I wrestled Rhea [Ripley] a ton of times on the NXT house show loops [in Florida]. We wrestled for the NXT UK Women’s Championship in the main event of an NXT UK where Rhea defeated me. So I feel like there’s that where we know each other very well, but there’s also IYO who I’ve wrestled in Japan a ton.
“We actually were in the same Performance Center class at the same time in July 2018. So we came in together, and I feel like that would be a really cool story to tell of, ‘Look what you’ve gone on to do while you stayed in WWE, and I had to leave and redeem myself a little bit, and now I’m coming back for your championship,’ I feel like is a really cool story. So my answer is IYO, I feel like it’s IYO.”
