Sonya Deville Discusses Her Pairing With Chelsea Green – Chelsea Green returned to WWE at WWE Royal Rumble 2023. She eventually aligned with Sonya Deville, and they formed a tag team ahead of WrestleMania 39. There, they competed in the Women’s WrestleMania Showcase, and they have continued to team up together ever since.
Speaking with Maria Menounos, Deville’s pairing with Chelsea Green came up in the conversation. Deville noted that her team with Mandy Rose worked well because they were best friends, and she described how she and Green hit it off as well.
“Me and Mandy were best friends, and I think that’s why the chemistry worked. Chelsea and I hadn’t talked in a while, and then when she came back to WWE, we ended up as partners immediately. We just clicked and hit it off. It’s so cool, and I mess around with her all the time because she’s so over the top and opposite of me in a lot of ways. She’ll come with an all-pink outfit, with pink sunglasses, pink earrings, pink shoes, pink toenails, and I’m like, ‘How did this happen?’ Here I am like Darth Vader or Wednesday Addams [wearing all black]. I’m like, ‘How did I get stuck with you?’ It’s funny,” Deville said.
When asked to describe where’s the team is going, Deville stated that she doesn’t know, though they’ve gotten positive feedback, She recalled how the pairing was thrown together ahead of the Women’s WrestleMania Showcase match, but the bosses were happy with the results, so the duo remained a team beyond the premium live event.
“I don’t know. I do know that we’ve gotten great feedback, and they seem to really like us together. It was something that was not meant to be a thing. WrestleMania was coming up, and they were looking to have tag teams to be in this fatal four-way tag team match, I think, and they were trying to get more women involved. Chelsea was originally paired with two other girls before me, but then that didn’t work out, and then ‘Mania was coming up, and they were like, ‘We’re throwing you and Chelsea Green [together] and you’re in the ‘Mania match.’ I was like, ‘What? Okay.’ Then we did a backstage, and we had a match right before ‘Mania, and they were like, ‘Wait a second. This is actually working.’ [My fiancé] said it right away. She was like, ‘I really like it. You guys have something.’ I was like, ‘Yeah?’ Because we’re so opposite, I didn’t see it at first. But she said it, and then a couple weeks later, creative was like, ‘They really like you guys together. I think we’re gonna run with this.’ Then I started really liking it. We started really gelling,” Deville said.
