After Purrazzo's WWE release, Impact Wrestling wrestler/producer Madison Rayne contacted her.[53] One month after, Purrazzo appeared on the May 26 episode of Impact! in a taped promo introducing herself as "The Virtuosa", a wrestler possessing immense technical skill and certainty of her future success. Purrazzo's in-ring debut was on the June 9 episode of Impact!, attacking Knockouts ChampionJordynne Grace and by placing her in the Fujiwara armbar to establish herself as a heel. On July 18 at Slammiversary, Purrazzo defeated Grace by submission to win the championship for the first time.[54] On August 24, during the second night of the Emergence special, Purrazzo made her first successful title defense against Grace in the first Knockouts 30-minute Iron Man match in Impact history, winning two falls to one.[55] At Victory Road, she had another successful title defense against Susie.[56] On October 21, it was confirmed that Purrazzo had signed a long-term deal with Impact Wrestling.[57]
