Deville says she will have surgery on Tuesday and be out of action “for an extended period of time.” She expresses bitterness about the injury considering how hard she has worked to finally become a champion in WWE, and so the timing couldn’t be worse. She also jokes (but not really) about the WWE women’s tag team belts being cursed.
The rest of Sonya’s message offers an optimistic perspective about testing herself with this latest challenge, thanking her fans for their support, and vowing that she will be back “sooner rather than later.”
WWE fans were shocked when TMZ reported that Sonya Deville suffered a torn ACL during a match on the July 28 episode of SmackDown. The news was later confirmed by Deville herself on social media, where she provided an update on her injury and expressed her frustrations.
In a tweet, Deville shared a video of herself discussing the injury. She revealed that she will be undergoing surgery on Tuesday and will be out of action for an extended period of time. Deville expressed her disappointment, as she had worked hard to become a champion in WWE and the timing of the injury couldn’t be worse. She even joked about the WWE women’s tag team belts being cursed, highlighting the unfortunate string of injuries associated with the titles.
Despite the setback, Deville maintained an optimistic outlook. She thanked her fans for their support and vowed to return to the ring “sooner rather than later.” Deville’s determination and resilience in the face of adversity are commendable, and fans are undoubtedly rooting for her speedy recovery.
This injury comes at a time when Deville was enjoying success as one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions alongside her partner. The torn ACL will not only keep her out of action but also force her to relinquish the tag team titles. It’s a disappointing turn of events for Deville and her fans, who were eagerly following her journey as a champion.
Deville’s injury serves as a reminder of the physical toll that professional wrestling can take on its performers. Injuries are an unfortunate reality of the sport, and they can have significant consequences for the careers of wrestlers. However, the resilience and determination shown by wrestlers like Deville are a testament to their passion for the industry and their commitment to entertaining the fans.
As Deville begins her road to recovery, fans will be eagerly awaiting her return to the ring. Her absence will undoubtedly be felt in the women’s tag team division, but it also presents an opportunity for other teams to step up and make their mark. The landscape of WWE is constantly evolving, and injuries like Deville’s create new opportunities for fresh faces to shine.
We wish Sonya Deville a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. The wrestling world eagerly awaits her return to the ring, where she will undoubtedly continue to leave her mark as one of the industry’s most talented performers.
