Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo took to Twitter shortly after it was reported that her partner, Steve Cutler, had been released by WWE.
Not long after that, Purrazzo clarified that she and Cutler both tested positive for COVID-19 in January.
It was then reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that Cutler was released due to attending a New Year’s Eve party and catching COVID-19.
“This was said to be a disciplinary reason that got Vince McMahon livid when he heard about it,” wrote Dave Meltzer. The report would continue to say that Vince promised guys like Roman Reigns a safe environment to return to.
“The belief is that it had to do with his New Year’s Eve party that led to that and that McMahon had promised a few wrestlers like Reigns a safe environment when he returned and Cutler was around all the talent,” Meltzer continued.
Purrazzo then recently took to Twitter to comment on a report regarding Cutler’s release.
“My reasoning is I was at a party w/ people who I’ve spent the ENTIRE last year w/ & who are tested every week. The worst case scenario happened. Once we were aware, we took every precaution to test & quarantine properly. Articles insinuating otherwise are FALSE,” she also Tweeted.
