During his appearance Friday on the Strong Style YouTube Show, Tony Khan gave an update on the situation regarding current ROH Women’s Champion Deonna Purrazzo, who is under contract to IMPACT Wrestling.
Khan was asked the status of Purrazzo as both ROH and IMPACT Wrestling are holding pay-per-views next Friday night in the Dallas area during WrestleMania 38 weekend.
Purrazzo is booked for the IMPACT event in a Champ-Champ Challenge where she is set to defend either the AAA Reina de Reinas or ROH Women’s Championship against a mystery opponent.
Khan noted the following:
“When Deonna won the Ring of Honor title, when they booked that match, I did not have an agreement in place to buy Ring of Honor yet and was not booking the matches…with them having a show the night of our pay-per-view, I don’t know how it’s going to work out. Scott [D’Amore] and I are still talking about that because I completely respect their position that they have an event that night too…I question the wisdom at the time, maybe, of doing a match where there is a possibility of someone taking the belt of another company that’s running a show the very same night but again now I’m doing the booking (for ROH)…so, we’ll see how that shakes out.”
Khan further noted he would love to have Purrazzo in ROH, and that he would like her to defend the ROH Women’s Championship on the Supercard PPV. Khan said he doe not want to put Purrazzo in a tough position where she has to wrestle twice in just a few hours.
