Trinity Fatu further reflects on wrestling Deonna Purrazzo at IMPACT Slammiversary and the grueling nature of the first-time-ever match.
Trinity became the first woman in IMPACT Wrestling to force Deonna Purrazzo to submit and, in the process, claimed the IMPACT Knockouts World Title at IMPACT Slammiversary.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Trinity called it the most challenging match of her career and said that working with "The Virtuosa" forced her to step up her game.
“I’ve never had a match like that,” says Trinity Fatu, who debuted for Impact in April. “Deonna is incredible in the ring. I had to step up to match her intensity and energy, and matching her style was a challenge, too. She is the hardest opponent I’ve had to face in my career, and I feel so honored to have shared the ring with her.”
In regards to the submission victory, Trinity also says that so much thought went into every moment of the match from both sides, adding to the pride she feels.
“We put so much thought into every part of this match,” says Fatu. “I’m so happy we got it right. Deonna made me dig deep and fight through it. That’s my story. The struggle makes it real. It also makes it beautiful.”
In an interview prior to the match, Purrazzo spoke about why it's important for Trinity to take the Knockouts division to the next level. Read more here.
