WWE Superstar Sonya DeVille made a triumphant return to the company yesterday after a lengthy layoff due to a torn ACL. On the July 28, 2023 episode of “WWE SmackDown,” DeVille was injured during a tag-team match against Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair and hasn’t taken a punch since that unfortunate incident
Not only did DeVille’s injury keep her out of the sport but it also forced her to withdraw from the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship she won with partner Chelsea Green less than two weeks earlier when Piper Niven stepped in to take over DeVille position and became the new leader along with Green. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on his “Insight” podcast, DeVille expressed his deep disappointment that he had to quit so soon after winning his first WWE title
“I was so devastated,” Deville confessed. “I mean, I’d been with the company for nine years, and of course, part of being in the WWE is to one day grab that brass ring and get gold around your waist, and that’s what I had been striving for, of course. So I finally got my first championship, and I was so happy, I was so elated, I was ready to make those titles mean more than ever before, and then the injury came. Which is probably why I ran back to my hotel and hid in my room and didn’t tell anyone I was injured.”
Deville recounted the moment she realized the severity of her injury. During the match, she felt her knee buckle but did not experience any immediate pain, so she thought nothing of it. It wasn’t until she returned to her hotel room later that night that she understood the gravity of her situation. “I tried to go to the bathroom in my hotel room, and I fell into the wall because I couldn’t put any weight on my knee,” she explained. “That’s when I knew something was very wrong.” A visit to the doctor confirmed her fears: her ACL was torn and had been for some time.
The journey back to the ring was long and arduous for DeVille, but his determination and resilience brought him back to WWE, ready to reclaim his spot on the roster While away he underwent rigorous preparations to recover from injury and return to the ring at full strength .
