Deonna Purrazzo became an All Elite in the very beginning of 2024 and now she’s also competed in her first match as an AEW talent. Although, previously, she did compete in a match on Dynamite TV against Mercedes Martinez to drop the ROH Women’s Championship back then she used to be an ROH talent under the contract of Impact Wrestling promotion.
But in the latest episode of AEW Collision that went down last night, Deonna Purrazzo competed on TV for the first time as an All-Elite star and also picked up the win against Red Velvet. The match started with a dropkick by Velvet but it was quickly countered with a fujiwara armbar only for Velvet to get to the ropes.
Velvet was further hit with a dropkick before getting locked into a separate submission move but Velvet escaped. Velvet started attacking her opponent in the corner but she was suddenly hit with a pump kick. Deonna Purrazzo then hit a side Russian leg sweep before finally locking in the fujiwara armbar as Velvet tapped out.
