Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring Sonya Deville and TNA.
• Sonya Deville revealed she landed her first major movie role just three days before WWE informed her they wouldn’t renew her contract.
Speaking on Daria and Toni Unwrapped, she saw the timing as a sign from the universe and had no hard feelings about leaving WWE.
Deville expressed gratitude for her decade-long career in WWE, emphasizing that she loved every moment but is now excited to pursue acting as her next chapter.
Here’s what the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion said:
“The irony of it all is that the week they didn’t renew my contract, I booked my first big film project—literally three days before I got the phone call. I got the call from my manager that I booked this role that I had auditioned for. How weird is the universe? What a beautiful thing. Like, what is there to be mad about?
I see people leave, and they say bad things about the company, or they talk crap, or they say whatever they say, and I cannot relate. I cannot. I genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, cannot relate. I loved every minute of it. I love everybody there. I love everything I got to do, everything I experienced.
But that was a chapter—and it was a decade long. A decade of travel, wrestle, eat, sleep, repeat. And it was fun. But now I have no choice but to listen to the universe and the universal signs. Like, ‘Hey D, that was good, but here’s what’s next. Acting.’ I’m excited. We have a lot of things coming up. Yeah.”
• WWE has confirmed a “title for title” match between NXT Champion Oba Femi and TNA X-Division Champion Moose for NXT Roadblock.
The match was set up during TNA iMPACT tapings at Full Sail University, where Moose and The System attacked Femi, with Moose making his intentions clear by holding both the X-Division and NXT titles.
Roadblock takes place on March 11, 2025, at Madison Square Garden’s Theater and will air live on The CW.
With both titles on the line, the match could have major implications for both WWE and TNA.
