#18 Current Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo
Former WWE prospect Deonna Purrazzo originally enjoyed a successful period of time on the independent circuit, which also included spells with Ring Of Honor, Stardom and IMPACT Wrestling (then called TNA).
She would then work with WWE as a regularly used enhancement talent between 2014-2017 before she officially signed with WWE and joined NXT from 2018-2020 where she was marked as a promising future star.
However, Purrazzo was released as part of the April 15th 2020 cuts having wrestled just sixteen televised matches during her time with the company.
Purrazzo then went to IMPACT Wrestling again where she quickly became Knockouts Champion and, after losing the title for a brief period of time, she is now currently the reigning champ at the top of the company's women's division.
#17 Matt Striker
Matt Striker has made a career for himself after his time in WWE as a wrestling commentator and part-time wrestler on the independent circuit. He has provided commentary for NJPW and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide and is currently on IMPACT Wrestling's commentary team as well.
Before that, Striker was perhaps best known for his time in WWE, where he incorporated the fact he was a teacher to help build on a heel character before he was moved to ECW and became part of the 'New Breed Vs ECW Originals' storyline. He would later become a commentator and host for WWE.
#16 Former WWE European Champion D'Lo Brown
While we're on the subject of commentary, Matt Striker's partner at the IMPACT announcing desk is former WWE star D'Lo Brown.
Whilst D'Lo Brown is doing a stellar job for IMPACT, he is definitely best known for his stint in WWE between 1997 - 2003 where he became a one-time Intercontinental Champion and four-time European Champion.
Brown has journeyed around several wrestling promotions but rejoined IMPACT in 2019. After having a few Aces and Eights-related storylines dropped due to COVID and other reasons, he now finds himself providing commentary.
