Former WWE star's in-ring return after 78-days officially announced for AEW Full Gear 2024
Another match has just been added to the AEW Full Gear card just a day before the show, and it will feature a former WWE Superstar returning to action. This will be their return to the ring after a couple of months.
Deonna Purrazzo has had a rollercoaster of a year so far. Upon arriving at the company in January, she proved to be a dominant force and even became a major threat to Toni Storm's world title. After falling short due to interferences, she fell to the back of the line and in a feud with Thunder Rosa, which she eventually ended up losing.
The Virtuosa then formed The Vendetta with Taya Valkyrie and has been looking to offer their services to anyone who needs them. She approached Anna Jay but was turned down, and she claimed that rejecting their offer was what led her to lose to Mariah May last week. She wished to make her pay for the disrespect she felt after this.
This bout has just been announced as part of AEW Full Gear's Zero Hour show. The pay-per-view is set to be in Deonna Purrazzo's home state of New Jersey, and she'll look to capture a monumental victory in what would be her first match since the day before All Out in September.

The Vendetta has hinted at changes in AEW
Last week before Rampage, the group hinted at taking an interest in all the major storylines revolving around the women's division. They named Mina Shirakawa's return to AEW, the dissension between Kamille and Mercedes Moné, and Anna Jay's conquest for the women's world title as areas they were paying attention to.
They hinted at preparing to take action and carving out a path of their own in the landscape of the AEW women's division.
"The winds of winter approach, and with that comes change. But we don't plan to stand by idly shielded from the storm, nor will we be tossed about by the winds. Because we are the agents of our own destiny, and we are the agents of change for ourselves, and potentially for others. We are The Vendetta, and to the ladies in the AEW women's locker room, 'Be safe out there. Change can be dangerous.'" [0:30-1:12]
Now the duo will look to deal with Anna Jay and possibly set an example for the rest of the locker room in just how formidable they can be. It remains to be seen if someone enlists their services and joins forces with them.
