Deonna Purrazzo, a former Knockouts World Champion known for her time with TNA (now WWE’s Impact Wrestling) and later AEW, has left fans curious about her current status. According to Fightful Select, Purrazzo is under contract with AEW through 2026 but hasn’t appeared on their programming recently due to logistical problems. She was supposed to participate in the tournament to crown the first ROH Women’s Pure Champion, but delays caused by injuries to other competitors pushed back the event. Although many participants were revealed by May 25th, Purrazzo was not taken to the Dallas event over the weekend and hasn’t been booked for key shows like Supercard of Honor or All In 2025, with the latter set to air on July 10th. Her last AEW match was in February, where she lost to Harley Cameron on “Dynamite.” While she remains absent from AEW televised events, she continues to wrestle on the independent circuit.
Purrazzo previously wrestled for WWE NXT from 2018 to 2020 but seemed frustrated by how WWE managed her career. She made her AEW debut in a one-time appearance in early 2024 before officially signing later that year. Her arrival sparked mixed reactions among fans, particularly about the company’s portrayal of female wrestlers.
Fan Take: This update is important for AEW enthusiasts because Deonna Purrazzo is a highly skilled wrestler whose presence could greatly strengthen the women’s division. Her limited appearances highlight the challenges AEW faces in managing talent logistics but also hint at the potential for exciting future storylines as she becomes more involved.
