Sonya Deville Opens Up On Important Talk With Vince McMahon, Her Mic Skills & Current Role

WWE

WWE star Sonya Deville has opened up on her microphone skills and her current role on the WWE main roster.

Speaking on Out Of Character with Ryan Satin, Deville discussed her beginnings on the WWE main roster and how she wanted to show off her microphone abilities.

Sonya stated:

“A few years back when I was in Absolution, or in Fire and Desire with Mandy, I didn’t get much speaking time on the mic. I was more of just like this intense a** kicker, MMA fighter. I remember thinking, I want an opportunity to speak on the mic because I don’t think Vince knows I do have a little bit of an acting background, and I think I’ll excel on the mic, maybe even more so than my in-ring career. But I know right now, they see me as like, ‘Oh, she’s an MMA fighter. Her strikes look great. She’s great in the ring. She doesn’t need the mic’.”

Deville went on to discuss how she talked to Vince McMahon about getting one opportunity on the mic and how it turned things around for her, saying:

“So I called Vince and I was like, ‘Hey, sir. I know you like my intensity and everything in the ring, but I actually have an acting background. I’d love to show you that I can bring that intensity and legitimacy to the microphone as well, and if you give me one opportunity, and I drop the ball, then I’ll go back to not speaking. But can you just give me this one opportunity?’ He said, ‘Okay, thanks’, and he hung up the phone. A week later, I had the eight minute in-ring promo with Mandy that I kind of pinpoint as a little bit like career changing just because nobody heard me talk prior to then besides saying something like a one liner and dropping the mic and then kicking someone’s head off. So it was really important to me at that time to show everybody, hey, I have much more depth to my character than this. I can do so much more, and maybe even more so than the in ring stuff. Now I’ve showed everybody I have chops on the mic, but now I want to show them like, hey, don’t forget, I can kick a** too and I could do everything in the ring. But that’s just going back to being a perfectionist. That’s just wanting to do it all and wanting to have it all.”

Finally, Sonya Deville addressed her current role and wanting to once again show off her in-ring ability:

“With all of that being said, I’m very happy with where I’m at. I love having the representation on both shows, both brands. I love the pressure of opening the show a lot of the nights and closing the show. I love all the mic work that I’m getting and all that camera time. I love where I’m at, I would never rush myself out of it. But if the time comes where he sees me as a full time in-ring competitor again, I’m happy to step it up and show everybody that I can do it there as well.”

Sonya Deville has certainly become a mainstay on both Raw and SmackDown weekly with her role as official, but many fans still want to see her back inside the squared circle.

If this interview is any indication, it seems Deville shares that same sentiment.
