Ladies and gentlemen, grab your popcorn and settle in because the wrestling world just got a jolt of excitement! After a 10-month injury hiatus, Sonya Deville is back and stirring up the backstage pot on WWE Raw. Let’s break down the drama, shall we?
The Comeback
Pro Wrestling Insider had hinted that we might see the return of the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion, and guess what? They were spot on. During Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, Sonya Deville was spotted backstage, looking ready to shake things up. She approached Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark, introducing herself to Stark and making some kind of proposition. Classic Deville! However, Baszler, ever the tough cookie, dismissed her without a second thought.
The Injury
For those who missed the saga, Deville tore her ACL in July 2023, right in the middle of her tag title reign with Chelsea Green. Talk about bad timing. Piper Niven stepped in to fill her shoes, snatching up one half of the championship without the usual fanfare of an actual victory. Deville’s return now, in late May/early June, fits perfectly with the expected recovery timeline for such an injury.
History and Hopes
Deville has been a WWE mainstay since 2015, yet despite her fierce persona and undeniable talent, she’s never snagged a singles title. Her former tag partner, Chelsea Green, along with Niven, were recently moved to WWE SmackDown. What does this mean for Deville’s future? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – she’s back and ready to make waves.
So, wrestling fans, keep your eyes peeled. The drama is just getting started, and Sonya Deville is back in the mix!
