Deonna Purrazzo is All Elite.
Deonna Purrazzo was officially announced as the newest signing of AEW as she made her full-time deut on the January 3 episode of AEW Dynamite.
Purrazzo interrupted Mariah May, who wasn't happy that she was making her in-ring debut in New Jersey. Purrazzo said she would find AEW Women's Champion Toni Storm. May told Deonna that she wasn't the messenger that Purrazzo could tell Storm herself, "Bitch."
Purrazzo knocked May out of the ring.
“The Virtuosa” Deonna Purrazzo is here to ruin Mariah May’s debut on #AEWDynamite!
