Sonya Deville was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. During the interview, she spoke on a wide variety of topics about her career so far.
One of these topics was the original name that she wanted to go by in WWE. This was before she was given the name Sonya Deville.
Here is what she said:
“I originally planned to go by NJ Deville in WWE. That would have paid homage to my MMA nickname, ‘The Jersey Devil.’ Eventually we decided on Sonya Deville, and Deville still represents the New Jersey Devil.
Not everyone knows that, but it’s a shout out to my home.”
Would you have preferred ‘NJ Deville’ or ‘Sonya Deville’? Let me know what you think in the comment section below.
