The Pride Fighter: 5 Facts you didn't know about WWE's Sonya Deville 

#4. Deville came out on national TV

Sonya Deville has never been scared to talk about her sexuality as a WWE Superstar and has become a role model for other women who are struggling to come out, but there was also a time when Deville wasn't open about it.

When Deville first arrived in WWE as part of Tough Enough in 2015, her time was documented, and that included a conversation that she had with Triple H regarding her sexuality.

"For me, I wasn't openly gay at that time and I had a girlfriend. So, what's going through my mind in that moment is, 'Do I lie? No, I can't lie. My girlfriend will kill me when I get home. So, I'm like, 'Well, I have to tell the truth, right?' So, I was like, 'Uh, yeah, I have a girlfriend. But, not a wife yet.' And got really awkward and gave like a really cringe answer."

"Triple H started laughing and he's like, 'I think you came out on national television. And so, I ran upstairs, called my mom. I was like, 'I just came out on national TV.'"

Luckily Deville recalled that her mother told her that everything would be OK and it was.
