5 Takeaways from this week's WWE SmackDown Live (26 June 2018)

#3 Sonya Deville is one of WWE’s most improved Superstars

Sonya Deville lost against Becky Lynch this week

Over the next few days, we’ll be handing out our 2018 half-year awards on a range of WWE topics, including Most Improved Superstar, and it’s safe to say that Sonya Deville will be somewhere in the top five of that list.

The former Tough Enough competitor was hardly a major star of the women’s division in NXT, so it has been a welcome surprise to see her gradually rise up the WWE ranks since her call-up to the main roster with Mandy Rose in November 2017.

In all honesty, this might not be the best week to make this point – her match against Becky Lynch wasn’t as good as her recent encounter with Naomi – but she still deserves credit for making huge improvements in a short amount of time.
