Deonna Purrazzo Spotted in Walking Boot and Crutches After ROH Match Stoppage

Deonna Purrazzo has addressed fans following an injury that forced a match stoppage during recent ROH television tapings. The ROH Women’s Pure Champion took to X to share her first public update, posting a photo of herself in a walking boot and on crutches — though she made a point of flashing a thumbs-up for the camera alongside the image.

The sight of Purrazzo on crutches is a concerning development for both ROH and AEW, where she has been an active presence. As the reigning ROH Women’s Pure Champion, any extended time away from competition would create significant questions around the title picture and the division’s direction heading into future tapings and events.

The thumbs-up in the photo suggests Purrazzo is keeping her spirits up despite the setback, but the walking boot indicates the injury is serious enough to limit her mobility in the short term. No official timeline for her return has been provided based on the available information.

Purrazzo has established herself as one of the top women’s performers on the AEW/ROH roster since arriving, and her in-ring work — particularly in the Pure Rules environment — has earned widespread praise. Fans and the wider wrestling community will be watching closely for further updates on her recovery and what it means for her championship reign going forward.
