Deonna Purrazzo Reveals Thoughts On Mercedes Martinez Becoming ‘Interim’ ROH Women’s Champion

IMPACT

Current ROH Women’s and AAA Reina de Reinas Champion Deonna Purrazzo is one of the hottest stars in women’s wrestling, and is set to wander through the Forbidden Door this week.

Purrazzo is set to defend her ROH Women’s Championship against the ‘interim’ ROH Women’s Champion Mercedes Martinez on this week’s (May 4) episode of AEW Dynamite.

Speaking with SP3 of Tru Heel Heat, Deonna gave her thoughts on the match, and Mercedes’ reign as ‘interim’ champion.

She said:

“I think that it was important for a champion to be crowned especially because we are going into a new era of Ring of Honor. Whether it’s me or Mercedes, someone is gonna come out on top. So I think showcasing women on Supercard of Honor was the right thing to do 100 percent. I would have been upset had I not do it and there was no women’s match, so if that means having to prove to Mercedes Martinez and the world that I’m the real Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion, then I’m more than happy to do that. That’s exactly what I plan to do on Wednesday is to carry a piece of the old Women of Honor what it was into this new Ring of Honor and new women’s division.”

Also set for this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite is the seeming AEW debut of former WWE star Big Cass (W. Morrissey).
