Purrazzo vs. Trinity Knockouts title match set for Impact Slammiversary
Less than a month after making her promotional debut, Trinity called her shot for an Impact Knockouts title match and is getting it on a big stage.
Trinity, the former Naomi in WWE, will take on current champion Deonna Purrazzo at Slammiversary on Saturday, July 15th in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
This will be their first-ever encounter.
Following her win over Savannah Evans Thursday, Trinity called out Purrazzo and the champion came to the ring to answer. Trinity challenged her for a title match at Slammiversary and Purrazzo said, “Let’s dance.”
Afterward, Evans, Gisele Shaw and Jai Vidal attacked Trinity and Purrazzo before Jordynne Grace came out to attempt to make the save before getting laid out herself.
Trinity and Purrazzo will face Evans and Shaw next Thursday.
Trinity is a former two-time WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion and will be looking for her first taste of Impact gold. Purrazzo is in her third reign as Knockouts Champion.
It’s the first match announced for one of the company’s biggest pay-per-views of the year.
