Continuing the ever-impressive run she's been on since leaving WWE in April 2020, Deonna Purrazzo is the new AAA Reina de Reinas Champion.

At last night's AAA TripleMania XXIX, the Virtuosa toppled Faby Apache to win the latest prize to add to her collection in a bout that also had the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Title on the line.

Currently in the midst of her second reign as Knockouts Champion, Purrazzo also recently won IMPACT's Homecoming tournament, with her and Matthew Rehwoldt emerging as the Homecoming Queen and King last month.

Since being one of the many releases made by WWE on 15 April 2020, Deonna Purrazzo has gone on to cement herself as one of the very best in the world right now.

Given how the "forbidden door" is now open, who knows whether Purrazzo may have her eyes on AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker or NWA Women's Champion Kamille? With the Knockouts Title, Homecoming Queen mantle, and now Reina de Reinas Championship under her belt, Deonna is shaping up to be somewhat of a belt collector.

In terms of the NWA, Deonna Purrazzo will defend her IMPACT Knockouts Championship against Melina at the NWA EmPowerrr PPV on 28 August.
