Sonya Deville spent nearly a decade in WWE, but many believe she never got the opportunity to reach her full potential. Ultimately, WWE decided not to renew her contract and this led to her departure. As fans speculate about her next move, Deville has now made it clear she doesnt rule out a return to MMA, leaving the door open for a potential career change again.
While speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Sonya Deville talked about her future after her WWE release. She said she loves wrestling but has the same love for MMA, considering them to be in the same category.
Deville noted that before joining WWE, she had three amateur MMA fights. The only reason she stopped fighting was because she got an opportunity with WWE. At the time, she was struggling financially and working as a bartender in Los Angeles. WWE offered her a salary to train and work out, which she saw as an incredible opportunity she couldnt turn down.
That decision shaped the last decade of her career, but she made it clear that her first love was fighting. She stated that her MMA journey isnt over and that the door to returning to the sport is still open.
Sonya Deville dropped out of college to become a fighter, so its clear she still has passion for the world of MMA. Devilles time in WWE may be over for now, but her combat sports career is far from finished. Whether she makes a comeback in wrestling or returns to MMA, she has plenty of opportunities to explore in the future.
