Aminata Forfeits ROH Women’s Pure Semifinal, Setting Purrazzo vs. Starkz Final at Final Battle

Doctors declined to clear Aminata after a neck injury, sending Purrazzo through by bye to meet Starkz for the inaugural title.

Overview

  • Tony Khan announced the forfeit during ROH Final Battle media availability, citing medical guidance that prevented Aminata from wrestling.
  • Aminata’s neck issue had already removed her from AEW’s women’s Blood & Guts on November 12, and she has remained un-cleared since.
  • Deonna Purrazzo advanced directly to the tournament final after the scheduled semifinal was scrapped due to the medical decision.
  • Billie Starkz defeated Yuka Sakazaki on the December 4 ROH TV episode to secure the other spot in the final.
  • Purrazzo vs. Starkz at Final Battle on December 5 will decide the first ROH Women’s Pure Champion.
