Deonna Purrazzo was one of the names released by WWE recently

Former WWE star Deonna Purrazzo has confirmed where her future lies after being released by the company.

The Virtuosa was one of the rising stars on NXT and great things were expected from her. She made a few appearances on TV too and wanted more time on the broadcast shows.

However, the coronavirus pandemic cut short those dreams. Purrazzo was one of the stars let go by the company.

WWE made several cuts and big names such as Kurt Angle, Zack Ryder and Luke Gallows also left.

Purrazzo had been teasing with where her future was. She posted several hints about joining another promotion soon, and we finally have an answer where she is going.

The Virtuosa confirmed she was going to join Impact Wrestling

It will be interesting to see how Purrazzo is used on Impact Wrestling. The promotion has a decent women’s roster and Purrazzo will get chances to shine on that promotion.

The Virtuosa could be a smart signing too, and many other WWE stars have done well since leaving the promotion.

Drew McIntyre is one example of a wrestler getting better after leaving the company. He returned a couple of years back and is now the WWE Champion.

On the flip side, Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose) was unimpressed by how WWE treated him and left for AEW.

He is now the AEW World Champion and has been the dominant singles wrestler on that promotion for a while.
