“I feel really present in this moment,” Sonya Deville reveals her future plans

Deville

Sonya Deville is a professional wrestler and also a mixed martial artist. She has been with WWE for over 6 years and is yet to win a title. Yet she is one of the most loved Superstars on the roster today. Deville kicked off her stint with WWE in 2015 as a contestant of the WWE Tough Enough. Post her elimination, she signed a contract with the company.

Initially, she used to perform on the developmental territory of NXT, but was moved to the main roster in 2017. Deville was part of a stable named Absolution – which consisted of Mandy Rose and Paige, apart from Deville. She was soon drafted to the Blue brand, along with Rose – where they came to be known as Fire and Desire.

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, who are best friends in real-life, continued to perform as a Tag Team. But they started breaking up when Rose entered into a love triangle with Dolph Ziggler and Otis. In fact, Deville’s feud against Rose was the last time we saw her a full-time performer. They collided in a No Disqualification Loser Leaves WWE match at Summerslam 2020. Rose emerged victorious and Deville went on a hiatus.

A couple of months ago, Deville returned to WWE, but this time as an authority figure. She has appearing on Raw and Smackdown, with the WWE Universe loving her in the new avatar. On the latest episode of Smackdown, Deville returned to action in a match against Naomi. But that match never really took off due to interferences from Shayna Baszler and Xia Li.

With that match the match continued to get longer for Deville’s in-ring return. She recently appeared for an interview with PopCulture.com where she mentioned that she is happy with her current authority role. “one of my first passions was acting and performing…. I’m just enjoying where I am. I’m not eager or in some sort of rush to be anywhere else. I feel really present in this moment and in this role,” mentioned Deville.

Deville currently appears as an on-screen authority figure

On January 1, 2021 Sonya Deville was reinstated and she appeared as the on-screen assistant to WWE official Adam Pearce. She used to help him out initially, but soon set out to do what she felt was right. In fact, she even reinstated Charlotte Flair post her suspension. Its been over a year since we have seen her in a proper wrestling match.

But it seems like we might soon get to see her in tag team action. Deville could team up with Shayna Baslzer to go against the team of Xia Li and Naomi. Deville and Naomi have been at loggerheads since several weeks and its payoff could lead to Deville’s full-fledged return.
