The tenure of Sonya Deville with WWE might have drawn to a close, but the one-time Superstar holds hopeful expectations for the future of her former in-show comrade.
During a recent episode of the podcast “Busted Open Radio,” Deville expressed her admiration for the RAW Superstar, Zoey Stark. As quoted, Deville said,
“Zoey is unequivocally one of the most skilled talents, irrespective of gender, to set foot in the WWE ring. Her movements are so natural yet so purposive that it is awe-inspiring. I don’t mean any disrespect by saying this, but her prowess outmatches some of the male contemporaries in the ring. She performs in such a manner that leaves me astounded and appreciating her exceptional talent.”
“She possesses extraordinary strength and I see her ascending to the top ranks. I think it’s not a question of whether she can make it, but rather when. She is currently refining and developing her character, but I anticipate seeing her among the top female wrestlers at some stage.”
After competing on various independent circuits, Stark aligned herself with WWE in 2021, becoming part of their NXT roster. She is a previous WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion.
In 2023, Stark transitioned to the main roster, bolstering her credibility by collaborating with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus.
Deville, on the other hand, was released from WWE earlier this year during her contract renewal talks.
