WWE Superstar Sonya Deville On 2020 Being Her Year, Mandy Rose, Women's Tag Team Titles, & More - EXCLUSIVE

We know a lot of you guys are big wrestling fans, so when we caught up with Sonya Deville to talk about her Batwoman aspirations, we made sure to ask some questions about her future as a WWE Supertar...

Earlier today, we shared our interview with WWE Superstar Sonya Deville (Daria Berenato) about her hopes to take on the title role in The CW's Batwoman. However, we couldn't let her go without asking at least a few questions about her pro wrestling career, especially as her star is now on the rise. 

After ending a long term partnership with Mandy Rose, Sonya is embarking on a singles career which feels like it will lead to her winning the SmackDown Women's Championship before 2020 is over. As well as addressing that possibility, we also asked about her feud with Rose, whether she regrets missing out on a Women's Tag Team title run, the possibility of facing fellow former MMA star Shayna Baszler, and quite a bit more besides.

Sonya is clearly confident with her future in the squared circle, and definitely someone with all the makings of WWE's top female star. 

We want to say another big thank you to Sonya for talking to us, and if you'd like to check out even more WWE news, you can do so by heading over to our sister site, TheRingReport.com

Everyone is raving about your recent performances on the mic and in the ring on SmackDown, and calling you the best thing about the show. So do you think 2020 could be your year?

Absolutely. In pro wrestling, or sports entertainment, timing is everything. Everything that I've done up until this point has led me to this exact moment, and I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. My work with tag teams has given me so much experience and a different kind of knowledge of the business through learning from Paige and working with Mandy, and Absolution and Fire & Desire. I just feel really good with where I am right now. I feel like it's where I'm supposed to be, and that some people knew I was capable of what I'm doing lately and some people didn't. They didn't know I had a voice or something to say, and they're learning that now. 

Do you regret you and Mandy Rose never having a run with the Women's Tag Team Championships?

I would have loved to have said we were tag team champs, but I think a lot of the reason why not is because we could never get on the same page. I don't think we were ever consistently good for an extended period of time without some sort of betrayal or deception on her end. So, that's kind of simple: I blame her. 

So, I'm guessing you're not hoping for any sort of reunion down the line?

[Laughs] No! That little Barbie doll has been going nowhere while I'm going up, so why would I bring that toxic energy back into my life? 
 


Are you hoping that this rivalry pays off with a big match down the line?

I mean, I've beaten Mandy twice fair and square already, so if she really wants a third shot, I'll give it to her. She kind of annoyed me last week when she got involved with mine and Lacey's match, and I don't know what that accomplished, but if she wants to get beat up again, I'll be happy to do so. We've got Backlash and some big PPVs coming up. She can name the time and place, and I'll be happy to embarrass her again. 

You've said in the past that you regret not getting the chance to have a match with Ronda Rousey given your MMA background, but do you think a fight with someone like Shayna Baszler could go some way towards making up for that?

I think there's so many women who I've yet to face in matches on TV I would have great chemistry with. Me and Shayna could do things in the ring no other women could possibly do together. I think the same goes for me and Asuka. We've always had good matches at live events and down in NXT, but no one has ever really seen it on TV, so I would love to have an extended series with her. Becky, who is obviously not here right now, but when she comes back, I would love to fight her...if she comes back. There are tonnes of women I'm looking to beat up, but Shayna's definitely one of them! 
 

On my terms blondie 😘

I thought there was a wrestling section for a reason.

Since we’re just putting anything anywhere

Who is Red X

1. Jason Todd. Let’s start with the most obvious. He shares similarities with Todd in that he’s good at what he does, he’s is hardened and he’s one of the few people that knows everything necessary to be a thorn in Grayson’s side. His discontent for Grayson is well documented. If Grayson is still Robin, Red X is probably not a new version Red Hood created for the Teen Titans cartoon. A light hearted version, without murder and resurrection, could definitely have been plausible, but if Grayson is still wearing the R, than there needs to be a better explanation regardless of Beast Boy name-dropping Todd, essentially breaking the 4th wall. It’s not Jason Todd
2. Grant Wilson. A Ravager-inspired Grant could definitely hold his own against Grayson, but loses impact without an immediate explanation to his origin. Grant, as the son of Slade, has reason enough to hate Grayson. Grant Wilson is better without the mystery. It’s not Grant Wilson
3. A Cadmus cloned Dick Grayson. This is simply not an option because Cadmus was never a part of the cartoon. Had they brought Cadmus in, than the Batman Beyond storyline that saw Amanda Waller create the clone as a failsafe to ensure there always be a Batman-esque hero to patrol, protect, and instill fear, and do so under her control, would’ve been a great way to call back Red X as the bizarro-Robin. It was definitely not a clone
4. James Gordon Jr. Speaking of definitely nots, here’s a character the show could’ve done a lot with, under creative freedom. One mention of this crazy young boy, and Red X could’ve easily been Jr. It was not James Gordon Jr
5. Nite-Wing. If explores in this universe, the sociopath with a twisted, inadequate self-education based on an obsession with the greatest hero of his generation, Robin, could’ve been twisted into an obsession with Robin leading to something akin to “Single White Female.” Already frequently referring to himself in the third person, this sociopath, who does believe himself to be a hero, could’ve been a prime suspect if he was introduced. However, not near as good as Grayson, they’d have to up his game substantially. We all know Red X was meant to be Nite-Wing
6. Wing How. While we’re talking wings, Wing How was the young hero, who died saving the lives of his team. What if, the cartoon took that and flipped it on its head. Say, combining the storyline of X-Men’s Morph, circa the 90’s series, with a dash of Jason Todd’s bitterness towards Grayson and used a tormented How as Red X. How could’ve quickly grown to resent the work’s favorite sidekick given that he died heroically and seems to have been forgotten. The potential is incredible, but, it positively was not Wing How.
7. Deathwing. Another wing. This one is a brainwashed dollotron of Professor Pyg. The poor victim thinks he’s actually Grayson. We know he’s not. We also know he is not Red X.
8. Talon. He is the Earth-3 sidekick of Owlman. This is as easy to write as it sounds and, we’ll, it would make sense that Talon is vertically and equal to Grayson, he wouldn’t be a very exciting answer to the long-standing mystery. Talon is not Red X.
9. Mitch Grayson. Dick Grayson’s brother in everyone’s favorite Batman movie, Batman Forever, ol’ Mitch May not ha e died at all. What if he he survived and stalked Grayson for years and... hold on, this being a thing, makes Batman Forever a thing and , that shouldn’t be a thing. It better not have been Mitch Grayson
10. Fledermaus. This guy was the kid Nazi sidekick to an adult Nazi that went up against Sandman and Sandy the Golden Boy. Maybe Fledermaus was on a mission to make all sidekicks obsolete and we were witnessing slow, methodical psychological warfare. I’m betting we were not and Fledermaus was not Red X.
11. Saiko. A childhood friend of Grayson during his days in the circus, Saiko’s life changed after Grayson left to live with Bruce Wayne. After nearly drowning to death and forgotten, Saiko grew to become a deadly assassin and would turn his attention on Grayson. After learning of hi secret. If not for his mental instability, a far cry from the calm and collected Red X, I would suspect Saiko. Had the cartoon dedicated an episode to Saiko, he would’ve been a prime suspect, over Todd and Wilson, I suspect. Saiko however, is not Red X
12. Shrike. As a teenager, the boy known only as Boone was a friend of Grayson. As Grayson was learning under the tutelage of Batman, Boone learned from many teachers, to include Ra’s Al Ghul. He was soon part of the Vengeance Academy that Shrike operated in Gotham City, training young teens to become assassins. Grayson infiltrated the school after and formed a friendship with Boone. After Grayson’s interference led to Shrike’s death, Boone swore to avenge his master. Taking on his mentor's name, the new Shrike became one of the world's foremost assassins before returning to America to drive Robin mad before assassinating him. Shrike IS Red X

That being said, Shrike and/or Red D need to be a part of DC’s Titans tv show.

Well, at least this story is off of the main page. Now if it could just be moved to the wrestling page and off CBM. 😂
