Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green, collectively known as VXT, are finally showing the world what they can do together, and this opportunity means a lot to them.
Real-life best friends Purrazzo and Green won the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship titles at IMPACT Wrestling Emergence. Moving forward, they are determined to stake their claim as an elite duo.
In an interview with Ella Jay for SEScoops, Purrazzo was asked about seeing VXT come to life in IMPACT Wrestling after the idea originated back in her days with WWE. She noted that, back then, the timing wasn’t right, and the company didn’t see the vision anyway.
“It’s so exciting,” said Purrazzo. “VXT, it was a Rachael Ellering, Chelsea Green, Deonna Purrazzo creation. It was Rachel’s idea that she came to Chelsea and I while we were in NXT. They were just kind of creating the women’s tag division there, and we thought, well we’re not being used, so let’s join forces and put the beauty, the brawns and the brains all together. Unfortunately, they just didn’t see that vision. Rachel was injured, Chelsea kinda went through some stuff, I was going through some stuff.
“The timing was just not right. With Chelsea being my real-life best friend, I think VXT took a life of its own that we didn’t even intend for it to take for us, and that just kinda became who we were together.”
The former IMPACT Knockouts World Champion emphasized that teaming up with Green in IMPACT is quite special, and they want to take both IMPACT by storm.
“To see this vision come to life and IMPACT to believe in it because we were told, ‘Why are best friends a tag team’, it’s so special to us,” said Purrazzo. “Everything we’re doing right now, it’s so important to freaking nail it and to take our tag division by storm, take IMPACT by storm, make the entire world VXT, is so important to us.”
VXT will defend the titles on the August 25 episode of IMPACT Wrestling.
