AEW Women’s Division Poised for All-Women’s Event, Says Deonna Purrazzo

One big thing: AEW’s women’s division may be ready for its own showcase event

Deonna Purrazzo believes an all-women’s event for AEW and ROH is “inevitable” and the “next step for women’s wrestling across the board.”

Why it matters

• An all-women’s event would spotlight AEW’s growing female roster and multiple championships.
• It could address criticisms about lack of airtime for women’s wrestling in AEW.
• Such events have been successful for other promotions, like WWE’s Evolution in 2018.

By the numbers

• AEW currently has 2 women’s titles: AEW Women’s Championship and TBS Championship.
• ROH, under Tony Khan’s leadership, has 2 women’s titles: World Championship and World Television Championship.

What they’re saying

Purrazzo told “She Digressed”:
• “There’s so many of us across Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, and Ring of Honor.
• “There’s so many championships that could be defended.”
• “We have enough women to do that. We have enough stories to tell and championships to defend.”

The big picture

As AEW’s women’s division expands, wrestlers like Saraya and Nyla Rose have suggested introducing women’s tag team titles to further elevate female competitors.

What’s next

While Purrazzo is enthusiastic about the possibility, she acknowledges, “I don’t make those decisions.” The ball is in AEW management’s court to make this vision a reality.
