Trinity arrived in Impact Wrestling with a great deal of buzz, and right from the start, she had her sights set on the Impact Knockouts World Championship. That drew a response from Knockouts World Champion Deonna Purrazzo and her challenger at the time Jordynne Grace, and since then Purrazzo has continued to defend and hold her Championship. That all led to tonight’s episode of Impact, where Trinity defeated Savannah Evans and then challenged Purrazzo for the Title at Slammiversary. Purrazzo’s answer was clear and to the point, telling Trinity “Let’s dance”. You can watch the video of the segment below.

Impact Slammiversary will take place on July 15th at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario Canada. It’s one of the biggest events of the year for Impact, and in the past has led to big returns, shocking twists, and a number of Title changes. This year’s Slammiversary is shaping up to be no different, and we could end up seeing Trinity’s first Title reign begin before the night is over.
There’s still some time before the match though, and the two stars will have some common foes to take care of in the meantime. After Purrazzo accepted Trinity’s challenge, both stars were blindsided and attacked by Evans, Giselle Shaw, and Jai Vidal. Trinity was able to turn the tides for a minute, but eventually, the numbers game won out. That led to the reveal of a Purrazzo and Trinity team-up for next weeks Against All Odds pay-per-view.
Purrazzo is no stranger to defending the Knockouts World Championship, as she had a lengthy reign before finally being defeated by Mickie James. James would go on to defend her Title for a while, but unfortunately, an injury took her out of action and she had to vacate the Title. It was Purrazzo and Grace who would compete for the Title, and Purrazzo walked away the victor. They would have a rematch at Under Siege, which Purrazzo won, and Grace has announced since then that she is a free agent and is taking some time off from the ring.
