Deonna Purrazzo: ROH Doesn’t Get Enough Credit For Serving Women’s Wrestling

Deonn Purrazzo has found a home in Ring of Honor over the past year, helping establish the pure division the promotion and becoming the first-ever ROH Women’s Pure Champion.

Speaking to Ryan Gaydos of Fox News, Purrazzo praised the work ROH has done with the women’s division overall.

“I think what’s so great about Ring of Honor is that it kinda flies under the radar a little bit. So, you get to really develop and tell stories and show personality and maybe try something different than you would if you were on ‘Dynamite’ every single week. I think that there is really great women’s wrestling within Ring of Honor. Most weeks there’s four, five, six women’s matches and so I think that it doesn’t get enough credit online that it deserves for what it’s doing and the purpose it’s serving for women’s wrestling, which is, again, really important to me, starting in Ring of Honor, starting the women’s division 11 years ago.

“To get to see multiple women every single week grow and develop, I think it’s really important and I think that if more people saw it as a landing spot, we can maybe grow that perception in the public’s eyes.”

Purrazzo will defend her Women’s Pure Title against Diamante at ROH Supercard of Honor on Friday.

She and Steve Maclin are putting on the Battle for the Brave on June 6. The charity event will benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
