Fresh off the latest developments, Deonna Purrazzo is dealing with an physical issue following Monday night’s Ring of Honor television tapings in Jacksonville, Florida.
The reigning ROH Women’s Pure Reigning champion was hurt while defending her crown against Steph De Lander during the taping. Purrazzo appeared to suffer the injury after taking a suplex on the floor outside the ring, as reported by a fan in attendance.
Allowing Purrazzo to retain the strap, the battle was unable to continue and was ultimately ruled a no contest. Building on that, concern in a flash spread among audience following reports from the premium live event, on the flip side Purrazzo has since provided a brief update on her condition.
Taking to social media, Purrazzo shared a photo of herself giving two thumbs up while using crutches and wearing a walking boot on her right leg. “Thanks for all the love & positivity,” Purrazzo wrote.
While the update reassured audience that she was in praiseworthy spirits, there has been no official word regarding the nature of the physical issue or how much ring time she may miss. The injury comes during a significant period in Purrazzo’s career.
In December 2025, she made history by becoming the inaugural ROH Women’s Pure Champion. She remains the only woman to have held the prize, nearly seven months later.
Outside of AEW and ROH, Purrazzo has in addition remained active in charitable and independent wrestling ventures.
Earlier this month, she teamed with her husband, Steve Maclin, to promote the Battle for the Brave independent wrestling pay-per-view in Latest Jersey. The show raised funds and awareness for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization established in the aftermath of September 11 to support military veterans — initial responders, and their families.
Maclin has in addition been making headlines within the past few days after receiving his release from TNA Wrestling and entering free agency.
For now, supporters will be awaiting further updates on Purrazzo’s status as the wrestling world hopes the health concern is not a serious one. Given her importance to Ring of Honor’s women’s division and her role as the company’s inaugural Women’s Pure Champion — her recovery timeline could have significant implications for ROH programming moving forward.
