Deonna Purrazzo praises KiLynn King and Gisele Shaw.

Speaking on Sunday Night’s Main Event, Purrazzo was asked to name who was most likely to be the next IMPACT Knockouts World Champion. She first named former champion Jordynne Grace.

“If Jordynne Grace comes back, we don’t really know what’s happening or [her] contract status, if she’s a free agent,” Purrazzo said. “No one knows what’s next for Jordynne Grace. If she does decide to come back to IMPACT Wrestling, and whenever that might be, I do think she’s out for vengeance.

“We haven’t seen her since May at Under Siege, when I defeated her. I think that she would definitely be in the running, if she was to come back, to be the next Knockouts World Champion.”

Deonna Purrazzo then spoke highly of KiLynn King and Gisele Shaw. She complimented both competitors and made it clear that she thinks they both have bright futures.

“There’s two people that have my biggest vote of confidence to carry on the legacy of the Knockouts World Championship. That is KiLynn King, who I just think is absolutely phenomenal. We are wrestling next week. I was so excited to find out that I’m having a singles match with her. I was so excited when she got signed to IMPACT. Then I was like hell yeah, I want to work with her. So I’m really excited for that match coming up.

“I just think she’s got it all. She’s such a great wrestler, the gear is great. She knows herself and what she’s good at and what she brings to the table. I think that being in The Coven was a really great way to bring her in and introduce her to the audience. When she kind of breaks away from that, whenever that is, she’s going to be a force to be reckoned with.”

As for Shaw, Purrazzo stated that she believes “The Quintessential Diva” is phenomenal.

“I have said this endlessly, I absolutely love wrestling Gisele. I think she’s phenomenal, I think in the last year, she’s really come into herself and really shown the world that she’s more than just a phenomenal athlete,” Purrazzo said. “She is. She can do all the flips, she can do the hard-hitting, she’s crazy, what she can do in the ring.”
