Deonna Purrazzo is dealing with an injury scare following the ROH TV tapings held on Monday, June 22. The Virtuosa was in singles action against Steph De Lander when the match came to an early stop after Purrazzo appeared to suffer an injury during a floor spot. She was helped to the back following the incident, raising immediate concern about her condition.
By Tuesday, Purrazzo was seen on crutches and wearing a walking boot — a troubling visual, though she did offer a brief update on her status. The exact nature and severity of the injury has not been fully detailed at this time.
Purrazzo has been one of the most prominent women in ROH since signing with the promotion, building a strong run that has kept her at or near the top of the women’s division. An extended absence would be a significant blow to that division, given how central she has been to its storytelling in recent months. De Lander, meanwhile, has also been carving out a notable presence in ROH, making their matchup a high-profile one before the unfortunate stoppage.
There is no confirmed timeline for Purrazzo’s return at this point. The wrestling community will be monitoring any further updates closely as more information becomes available. Fans are hoping the crutches and boot are precautionary measures rather than signs of a serious, long-term setback for one of the sport’s most accomplished in-ring performers.
