WWE reportedly signs Women of Honor star
Women of Honor star Deonna Purrazzo has reportedly signed with WWE, per new reports by Squared Circle Sirens and PWInsider on Thursday.
Purrazzo, who was trained by longtime OVW trainer Rip Rogers, has worked with ROH for the Women of Honor division over the last couple of years and has also made appearances for Impact and SHIMMER in the past. Purrazzo had been an alternate for last year’s inaugural Mae Young Classic tournament prior to her reported signing.
