After stepping away from
WWE for five months,
Sonya Deville made her
grand return back last week on
Friday Night SmackDown to help elevate not only the blue brand but to reposition herself as the leader both in the ring and backstage. This week, Deville came on
Talking Smack to discuss her return and what goals she'd like to achieve this year.
"It's never felt better. It felt like it was never going to happen," Deville replied when asked how it feels to be back on
SmackDown. "You know what? 2021 is going to be the year of Sonya Deville, but also the year of
SmackDown. I'm excited about so many things to come for the show. And I'm excited to show you guys."
As seen by the WWE Universe, it looks like Deville is shifting focus towards
pursuing an authoritative role backstage than going back to being just an in-ring competitor. She explains the sudden change to Kayla Braxton and Paul Heyman.
"Yeah. I mean, anyone who knows me knows that is a natural fit for my personality," she stated. "I think it's a great kind of duo with [Adam] Pearce right now. I want to make
SmackDown a good place to be and a good place to work. I want the women to get opportunities. I have a lot of things in store, and I think it's going to be positive and moving in an upward direction."
