Sportskeeda: We need to go back to a couple of weeks back on IMPACT. You mentioned that you want to make people realize who Kimber Lee is again. If there was ever a match to do that in, it's a match against the current champion: Kimber Lee vs. Deonna Purrazzo.

What was it like being in the ring with Deonna and what is it like just having someone like Deonna Purrazzo in IMPACT?

Kimber Lee: You know, it was awesome. Deonna and I have only ever wrestled one time before this and it has been a few years at this point, so I was incredibly excited to share the ring with her again and on a much bigger platform this time. You know, Deonna is somebody who says it like it is. She is one of the greatest technical women's wrestlers out there.

I don't know if I'd say she's the best because I kind of think I'm pretty good, too, but hey, she's definitely somebody who is a force to be reckoned with and I want to match myself with those people, and getting an opportunity to share the ring with her is a great one. Granted, it didn't go the way I would want to but my Crown Jewel would probably show up with me if it was a title match, wink-wink, nudge-nudge. Now that I've gotten to feel the waters and test her out a bit, I don't know if she would come out victorious the second time.


That was a brilliant match and I would love to see Kimber Lee vs. Deonna Purrazzo again at one point. So, onto IMPACT Wrestling Emergence. The rumor is that it's going to be headlined by Deonna Purrazzo and Jordynne Grace.

What's it like knowing that, in IMPACT Wrestling, at any point, any time, anyone can be anywhere on the card? On one end of the scale, Eddie Edwards defending the Championship in the opening match and obviously the women can easily main event. What's it like knowing that that roster is so fluid that anyone can be anywhere on the card?

It's just an amazing feeling to know that I'm a part of something that is so diverse. It gives women opportunities that a lot of places still don't because, even now, with all the progress that we have made, there's still this feeling that the women have to go earlier on the card and that's not the case.

IMPACT lets us show that that's not the case and they give us the opportunities that we deserve but the same goes for everybody on the roster and there hasn't been a time where I felt that the men were more important than the women, which I have felt that in other places, and it's just an amazing thing to be a part of.
