10 Wrestlers Having INCREDIBLE Years (That Nobody Is Talking About)

2. Deonna Purrazzo

IMPACT Wrestling

Deonna Purrazzo is the current IMPACT Wrestling Women's Champion, reigning with the title on and off since last July when she defeated Jordynne Grace in one of the best women's matches of 2020.

Purrazzo has been a star of the IMPACT brand since her arrival and has continued her ascension in 2021, retiring Jazz over WrestleMania 37 weekend, delivering solid title matches with Taya Valkyrie, Rosemary and Tenille Dashwood, and has firmly established herself as the face of the women's division.

Sadly, the Virtuoso's underrated by the majority of wrestling fans because of IMPACT's limited audience. Outside of a small section of the internet wrestling community, IMPACT isn't watched by many people regularly and big events such as Hard to Kill have built their marketing and main event around other talent such as Kenny Omega. This is a shame, because if Deonna's reign was in AEW or WWE, it would be heralded as one of the best title reigns in recent memory.

Purrazzo's skills as a heel and as a World Champion will hopefully be further recognised as the AEW/IMPACT partnership continues. She's having one hell of a year already, but it's going to get even better.
