Sonya Deville And Cora Jade Make TNA Debuts – Sonya Deville and Elayna Black have officially returned to pro wrestling, with both making surprise appearances as part of a major moment for TNA Wrestling.
During the debut episode of TNA on AMC, Santino Marella introduced former WWE star Sonya Deville as the newest member of the TNA roster. Deville is now competing under the name Daria Rae, a ring name she has been using professionally since her WWE departure in February 2025. Her introduction immediately established a new direction, as the presentation prominently featured the acronym “S.U.I.T.,” which Daria implied stands for “Shut Up [When] I’m Talking.”
Daria initially spoke about how meaningful it was to be in TNA, but the tone of the segment shifted quickly. She turned heel on Marella, criticizing him for what she called a lack of professionalism. The crowd responded with loud boos as Daria declared she was there to bring structure and order to the company. She then escalated the moment by revealing she had signed a new Knockouts division talent, introducing Elayna Black.
Black, best known to WWE fans as former NXT standout Cora Jade, made her entrance by simply walking onto the stage, drawing an immediate reaction from the crowd. While she did not speak during the segment, her presence alone marked her official return to wrestling after several months away from the spotlight.
Both returns carry additional context. In the summer of 2025, Sonya Deville, whose real name is Daria Berenato, recently told Chris Van Vliet that she believed her in-ring career was over, while still leaving the door open.
“Definitely for now. Never say never. But right now I feel at peace with that,” Berenato said at the time. “I’m not gonna lie, and I haven’t said this, but it almost is like an open wound. And if I think about wrestling somewhere else, it’s like I was so loyal to the company, it was my only home from 21 years old to 31. I’m a ride or die type of person in general. So it’s weird to even think about doing that, but not there.”
Elayna Black also indicated in July 2025 that she was stepping away from wrestling, citing mental health reasons for taking a break. Her appearance alongside Daria Rae signals a new chapter for both performers as TNA continues to reshape its roster and Knockouts division.
