Deonna Purrazzo Makes History: First ROH Women's Pure Champion Crowned

Deonna Purrazzo etched her name in history this past Friday, December 5, 2025, by becoming the inaugural ROH Women's Pure Champion. The technical expert secured the belt at the Final Battle event, held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, after a hard-fought match against Billie Starkz.

This momentous victory arrives precisely twelve years after Purrazzo's debut match on December 6, 2013, in New Jersey. Reflecting on her remarkable career trajectory, she shared a heartfelt message accompanied by a photograph of her newly won championship, embodying her journey with a simple yet profound "What a life."

Purrazzo, who made her AEW debut in January 2024, has recently been less active on AEW programming. Her championship win at ROH Final Battle was acknowledged by AEW and ROH owner Tony Khan, who congratulated her on X/Twitter. It remains to be seen when fans will see the new champion compete on AEW television next.
