July 21, 2025 – Despite her absence from recent AEW and ROH programming, Deonna Purrazzo remains firmly under contract with AEW. According to Fightful Select, she’s bound by a three‑year deal that runs through the end of 2026—extending her tenure well into early 2027
Why She’s Been Off TV
Purrazzo hasn’t appeared on AEW’s Collision or Dynamite since February, and her last ROH appearance was taped on June 21. Sources clarify her absence isn’t due to a release—it stems from an injury‑related delay in the ROH Women’s Pure Championship Tournament, which disrupted her planned matches and airtime
Confirmation & Context from Backstage
Several outlets report consistency: Purrazzo’s contract is valid through 2026, negating prior fan speculation that her run might be ending prematurely. Despite missing All In weekend and Starrcast, insiders affirm that her booking has simply been delayed—not halted.
What’s Next for “The Virtuosa”?
- Return Timeline: With the Pure Tournament now expected to resume later this summer, her ROH return is scheduled once tapings catch up.
- AEW Matches: Expect her to appear once circumstances align—possibly infiltrating the women’s title race on Collision or Rampage.
- Talent Status: Still active and valued backstage, Purrazzo trains regularly, and sources say she’s keen to regain momentum as soon as possible.
Backstage & Fan Reaction
- Behind the scenes, AEW officials believe the delay was unavoidable, and there’s no concern about her long-term role
- Fans on social have defended her spot, pointing to her top-tier skill set and questioning why such talent would be sidelined—many expect a strong comeback when the tournament returns.
Final Take
Deonna Purrazzo’s absence should be viewed as a hiccup, not a halt. With her contract secure through 2026 and roots deep in both AEW and ROH, her return is not a question of talent, but of timing. TrustSlam Insider predicts a stylish reentry into the women’s division, likely post-tournament—and “The Virtuosa” has every intention of making her mark once again.
