Deonna Purrazzo and Mickie James are ready to go for round two at the upcoming Hard to Kill pay-per-view in January, but their first match was awarded on tonight’s IMPACT Year End Awards.
The promotion aired the first part of its yearly wrap up and Purrazzo and James’ match for the Knockouts World Title at Bound for Glory was named Knockouts Match of the Year. James defeated Purrazzo at that event to become a four-time Knockouts World Champion and ending The Virtuosa’s impressive 343-day reign.
The nominees for the category were as follows –
- Deonna Purrazzo vs. Mickie James (Bound For Glory)
- Deonna Purrazzo vs. Thunder Rosa (Slammiversary)
- Deonna Purrazzo vs. Masha Slamovich (Knockouts Knockdown)
- Tasha Steelz vs. Jordynne Grace (BTI: May 13)
- Fire N Flava vs. Havok & Nevaeh (Hard To Kill)
Purrazzo also grabbed a second award and was named Knockout of the Year.
This is a familiar award for the former champion as she was named Knockout of the Year in 2020 as well making her a back-to-back winner. She would go on to take the biggest prize in 2020 as she was the overall IMPACT Wrestler of the Year as well. That award has not been announced just yet for this year.
The nominees that were in this year’s Knockout of the Year category were –
- Deonna Purrazzo
- Mickie James
- Mercedes Martinez
- Jordynne Grace
- Tasha Steelz
A promo aired from Purrazzo with a message to James for their upcoming match at Hard to Kill.
