Deonna Purrazzo was released from WWE NXT on April 15th of last year after which we have seen so many instances of talent cuts on the roster. For this particular name, the release appeared to be a ‘blessing in disguise’ as she could have signed with Impact Wrestling promotion and then would go on to establish herself as one of the top women’s champions of the professional wrestling industry.
Over her tenure in the WWE, Deonna Purrazzo had built a volatile relationship with the company as they never intended to properly use her on TV. This was a setback for her as she wasted little time arriving in Impact Wrestling. Even before signing a legit contract with the company, she became their Knockouts Champion.

Now that she is holding the title for almost a year, Deonna Purrazzo has all the right to brag about the fact. Also, she was entitled to enjoy a vacation with her boyfriend Steve Maclin fka Steve Cutler of WWE NXT. The hottie channeled her hot shtick while posing for the camera in her bikinis and most of those shots were captured by her cameraman, Maclin, himself.

In a couple of shots, he also appeared for some photo-bombing purposes. You can check out the picture posted on Instagram and Insta stories. It appears that the vacay period is over as they have more obligations to fulfill.
Deonna Purrazzo set for a huge title defense
In early May during the AAA Rey de Reyes show, Faby Apache won the vacant AAA Reina de Reinas Championship for the fourth time. Apache defeated Chik Tormenta, Lady Shani, Flammer, Maravilla, and Sexy Star to win the belt (it was vacated by Taya Valkyrie who was signed by the WWE) in the Lucha Libre show.
Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo then made a surprise appearance by challenging Apache to a Title vs. Title Match at this year’s TripleMania XXIX, which is currently set to happen on August 14. Apache accepted the challenge who then suffered an attack by the Impact wrestler. The Virtuosa has been pretty vocal about defending her belt against new opponents and she couldn’t wait to choose an opponent of her own choice. We will see how that title defense goes down for her, two months from now.
