Fans on social media widely called the match a disaster, with one user writing:
“This Eddie Kingston Arena Mexico disaster class will be talked about for a long time. Deonna Purrazzo level bad outing out of that guy. Wow.”
The match that the fan referred to here is Deonna Purrazzo vs. La Catalina in CMLL in December 2024.
AEW’s ROH Women’s Pure Champion Deonna Purrazzo quickly replied to the comparison, saying:
“You mean the ‘bad outing’ where I had an asthma attack during the entire 15 min match?
I’ve been punished for 2 years.
Is that long enough for you?”
After this, the fan posted:
“Very sorry to hear about the asthma attack. As a fan watching the match live and was excited to see said match, I thought it was a bad outing watching from home, I think its a fair criticism of it.”
Deonna replied:
“It’s absolutely fair to criticize the match. But 2 years later, continuing to relate every ‘bad’ match to one person and one experience is unfair and just plain cruel.
You don’t have to enjoy me as a performer. But you must understand how repeating a narrative like that can shape someone’s perception and career.”
