For fans wondering about the status of Deonna Purrazzo, a new report has provided clarity on both her long-term contract with AEW and the reason for her recent absence from television.
Purrazzo Signed With AEW Through 2026
According to a report from Fightful Select, Purrazzo is signed with AEW through the end of 2026. She reportedly inked a three-year deal when she joined the promotion, meaning her contract will be up at the start of 2027. This information shuts down any speculation that she might be nearing the end of her run with the company.
Booking Plans Affected By ROH Tournament Delays
The report also explained why Purrazzo has not been featured on AEW or ROH programming lately, despite not being injured. Her absence from recent events like AEW All In was reportedly due to a creative ripple effect caused by injuries to other talent that delayed the ROH Pure TV Title tournament, which in turn affected her booking plans.
Purrazzo’s absence comes as the ROH women’s division is in a state of flux. While Athena is now the number one contender for the AEW Women’s World Title, the newly created Interim ROH Women’s TV Title was immediately vacated due to an injury to its inaugural winner, Mina Shirakawa. A healthy and active Deonna Purrazzo would be a prime candidate to bring stability and championship focus back to the division upon her return.
