Over the past month, IMPACT has welcomed some new (and old) faces back to the company including Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, Deonna Purrazzo, Eric Young, and more following mass releases by WWE.
TJP knows about returning to IMPACT after a stint in WWE as he returned to the promotion in 2019 following his WWE release.
Speaking to Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture, TJP discussed the new talent in the IMPACT locker room.
"Selfishly I am pretty happy, because the guys coming in are people I have been friends with for a while...Anderson and Gallows, I’ve known them for so long, and I’ll probably be seeing them in Japan as well which is nice. Heath is another guy that I think is excellent and has so much potential that has completely been untapped and an amazing attitude, for like being a team player and making things work that people don’t realize. There’s a lot of guys coming over, I was pleasantly surprised by Deonna Purrazzo...I really enjoyed that she came in with that type of style and is able to do that type of stuff because I feel there aren’t a lot of women’s technicians, that are pure technicians in that way. And I always thought it was really unique that we had one of the few really great women’s powerhouses in the company in Jordynne Grace, so now for Deonna to come in and to continue broadening the style, which we already had a really good women's division, I really enjoy watching Deonna work for that reason… Chris Sabin the amount of obstacles he’s overcome, physically in his career, especially now I feel he’s a more mentally complete wrestler than he’s ever been," said TJP.
Deonna is the current IMPACT Knockouts Champion. She is set to defend her title against Jordynne Grace at IMPACT Emergence in a 30-minute iron woman match.
Fightful provides live coverage of IMPACT every Tuesday beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
