Impact Wrestler set to enter negotiations
Added 2022-08-17 20:23:21 +0000 UTCIMPACT Wrestling has a bunch of current champions that aren't under contract or are coming up, and another talent whose contract status is in a bit of a unique situation.
As Fightful had mentioned last month, The Good Brothers committed to work with IMPACT through at least late August, but they're far from the only champions in the company that have interesting contract status. We've confirmed that IMPACT Knockouts Champion Chelsea Green is still a free agent, and hasn't signed a contract with IMPACT. Green continues to work for NWA, GCW, and several indie companies while appearing on weekly IMPACT Wrestling TV.
Green's VXT tag team partner and fellow tag team champion Deonna Purrazzo has a bit of a more unique situation. Originally, Purrazzo's contract is set to expire at the end of 2022. As a result, we're told that Purrazzo and IMPACT Wrestling are set to actively discuss her future in the company, and more specifically the 2023 year. Sources familiar with the situation indicated that IMPACT believes they hold an option year, but it isn't clear cut.
Purrazzo came into IMPACT Wrestling and worked the first several months without a deal, even after she'd won the Knockouts Championship. She finally signed with the company, and we're told that after receiving a raise, there was time added to her contract. This may also include an option year, but we've learned the two sides are supposed to enter negotiations.

Yeah. WWE with 6 hours of shows definitely featured more women than in AEW's 3 hours.
2022-08-19 11:22:50 +0000 UTCyeah, TK really has not done any better than WWE had been doing with the women, in fact, I even think WWE during bad bookiing times, which has been a lot in recent years, still featured women more than AEW has been, not necessarily better, but more. However, I think Trips will up the game of the women, he's already started that and TK will still have to play catch up.

2022-08-19 10:45:12 +0000 UTCThe one time she appeared on Dynamite, she main evented the show which tells me they at least see something in her. Do I think they could do more with what they have? Absolutely, but there's something to be said for getting more top level women and increasing the demand for more. Deonna is a special talent. Getting her could only lead to good things.
