Purrazzo vs. Slamovich set for Impact Knockouts Knockdown

Impact Knockouts Champion and AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Deonna Purrazzo will face Masha Slamovich Saturday at Impact Knockouts Knockdown.

Slamovich was selected by Mickie James under the “Pick Your Poison” rules Scott D’Amore enacted after yet another pull-part between Purrazzo and James Thursday night. Purrazzo will select an opponent for James in the near future as they prepare for their Knockouts title match at October 23rd’s Bound for Glory.

The Slamovich match wasn’t announced as being for Purrazzo’s title. This will mark her return to the promotion for the first time since 2019 when she faced Havok and Jordynne Grace on Impact TV and Xplosion, respectively. The two clashed for an indie promotion earlier this year with Purrazzo picking up the win.
