She defeated <strong>Rok<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>C<\/strong> for the title earlier this year on an episode of IMPACT on AXS TV. Shortly after her win, the announcement was made that <strong>Tony Khan<\/strong> had purchased ROH. Purrazzo was unable to defend the title at the first event under the new regime <em>Supercard of Honor<\/em>. An interim title match was made that saw Mercedes Martinez defeat <strong>Willow Nightingale<\/strong> for an interim championship.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez walked into <em>Dynamite<\/em> tonight as the interim champion and walked out as the undisputed champion. She adds this accomplishment to her list of championships in other promotions such as <strong>SHIMMER<\/strong> and <strong>SHINE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The last couple of weeks has been rough for Deonna Purrazzo. She lost her AAA Reina de Reinas Championship to <strong>Taya Valkyrie<\/strong> at <em>Rebellion<\/em> a couple of weeks ago. She will get her rematch for the title this weekend at IMPACT Wrestling <em>Under Siege<\/em>. This loss to Martinez will not help her momentum going into the match this weekend.<\/p>\n<p><em>To see where you can watch ROH on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/tv-listings\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TV<\/a>\u00a0or see the latest episode of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/watch\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ROH TV<\/a>\u00a0click here.
