ROH Women’s World Champion set for AEW debut next week

ROH Women’s World Champion, Deonna Purrazzo, will make her AEW debut against Mercedes Martinez next week on Dynamite.

The winner will be the Undisputed ROH Women’s Champion. Martinez won the interim Women’s World Championship at the Supercard of Honor PPV earlier this month.

AEW President, Tony Khan, purchased Ring of Honor in early March. Supercard of Honor was the first show under Khan’s ownership and his first as ROH booker. The company had been on a self-imposed hiatus since December of 2021. Supercard of Honor featured many AEW stars including FTR, who defeated The Briscoes in a tag team dream match.

Purrazzo won the ROH Women’s World Championship from Rok-C on the January 10 episode of Impact Wrestling. Rok-C is signed to a WWE contract and Purrazzo has been champion ever since.

Other matches announced for next week’s AEW Dynamite include Jeff Hardy vs. Bobby Fish in an Owen Hart Foundation tournament, qualifying match.
