Deonna Purrazzo was the first female from the NXT roster to be released.

The former ROH, Impact and Stardom stand out made her earliest appearances in WWE way back in 2014 (she was one of the fabled 'Rosebuds' for then-relevant party gimmick Adam Rose), and slowly, steadily built her reputation as a dependable extra.

Purrazzo finally inked a WWE deal in 2018 and worked the second Mae Young Classic tourney. Since then, she's been used well sporadically, and recently jobbed for the returning Nia Jax on an episode of Raw. That, as it turned out, would be her final televised match for the company.
