Sonya Deville was part of the WWE family for around 10 years and fans felt she never truly lived up to her potential. In the end, she ended up parting ways with WWE as the company decided to not renew her contract and now Deville has revealed her new career path following her WWE exit.
While speaking on Daria and Toni Unwrapped, Sonya Deville talked about his WWE departure and revealed that just three days before WWE told her they wouldn’t renew her contract, she got her first big movie role since her manager informed her about that fact.
“The irony of it all is that the week they didn’t renew my contract, I booked my first big film project—literally three days before I got the phone call. I got the call from my manager that I booked this role that I had auditioned for. How weird is the universe? What a beautiful thing. Like, what is there to be mad about?”
Sonya Deville saw it as a surprising but positive twist and had no hard feelings about leaving WWE. She loved her time there, the people she worked with, and everything she got to do.
While some wrestlers leave and speak badly about the company, she doesn’t feel the same way. For her, WWE was an amazing part of her life, ten years of traveling, wrestling, eating, and sleeping. Even then, it’s time for something new now. With acting as her next step, Deville made it clear she is excited for what’s ahead.
“I see people leave, and they say bad things about the company, or they talk crap, or they say whatever they say, and I cannot relate. I cannot. I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, cannot relate. I loved every minute of it. I love everybody there. I love everything I got to do, everything I experienced.
But that was a chapter—and it was a decade long. A decade of travel, wrestle, eat, sleep, repeat. And it was fun. But now I have no choice but to listen to the universe and the universal signs. Like, ‘Hey D, that was good, but here’s what’s next. Acting’ I’m excited. We have a lot of things coming up. Yeah.”
Sonya Deville also revealed that she was negotiating a new contract with WWE before they told her they wouldn’t renew her contract. Nevertheless, with Deville now focused on Hollywood, her next big challenge is making a name for herself in the film industry. We’ll have to wait and see if she becomes a big star in the end.
