What’s the story?
In a recent interview with ESPN, Sonya Deville revealed when exactly she found out about her RAW call-up.
In reference to the same, Deville asserted that although she’d heard rumours pertaining to potentially being issued a main-roster call-up, the WWE confirmed the same with her just a few hours prior to her debut on Monday Night RAW. Additionally, Deville also spoke about her relationship with Mandy Rose.
In case you didn’t know…
NXT Superstars Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose recently made their main roster debuts on WWE’s RAW brand, as part of a stable known as ‘Absolution’; led by former Divas Champion Paige.
Both Deville and Rose getting called up to RAW came as a surprise to many in the pro-wrestling community; garnering mostly positive reactions as a whole.
The heart of the matter
Expounding upon when she found out about her RAW call-up, Sonya Deville stated—
"As the days unfolded, you hear rumors and you hear things flying around…You don't wanna believe anything until it's set in stone, because it's the entertainment industry at the end of the day and things change.”
“Come Monday, around 3:00, 3:30, I found out what I was doing (and) I think I'm still in disbelief; I don't know if it's really set in yet."
Furthermore, Deville explained that what’s even better about her recent call-up is that she gets to share the great ongoing experience with her best friend Mandy Rose, with whom she started off in the business on WWE Tough Enough two and a half years ago. Deville pointed out how she’s tagged with, and competed against Rose on NXT; alluding that the main-roster call-up has been a roller-coaster ride and a life-changing experience for her.
What’s next?
