Update on Deonna Purrazzo’s AEW Status – Deonna Purrazzo’s recent absence from AEW and ROH programming has left many fans speculating about her future with the company. However, a new report from Fightful Select provides clarity on both her contract status and the reason for her time off TV.
Purrazzo is under a long-term deal with AEW, reportedly signed through the end of 2026. According to sources, she agreed to a three-year contract when she joined the company earlier this year, meaning her deal won’t expire until early 2027. This dispels rumors that her AEW tenure could be ending soon or that she was on a short-term deal.
Despite not being featured on recent programming—including AEW All In and Ring of Honor events—Purrazzo is not dealing with any injury. The report explains that her absence is instead linked to a shift in creative direction. Injuries to other performers led to delays in the ROH Pure TV Title tournament, which had a cascading effect on booking plans across the ROH and AEW women’s divisions. Purrazzo was reportedly impacted by this reshuffling, which temporarily left her without a creative direction.
Meanwhile, the ROH women’s division has undergone major changes. Mina Shirakawa, who became the inaugural Interim ROH Women’s Television Champion, was forced to vacate the title due to injury. In AEW, Athena recently emerged as the number one contender for the AEW Women’s World Title, further complicating the creative landscape.
With her contract secure and no physical setbacks holding her back, Purrazzo remains a strong candidate to anchor either the AEW or ROH women’s divisions once plans are realigned. As one of the most experienced and decorated women in the industry, her return to TV could help bring much-needed stability and momentum to a division in flux.
