WWE Raw: Sonya Deville Was Terrified Of Going Home After Stalker Incident

Sonya Deville is a regular feature on WWE TV who earned the respect of the critics with her top heel work in recent times. While she is a popular name in the professional wrestling circuit, her work for the LGBTQ community has also earned her fame in the mainstream world. However, things weren’t easy for her after experiencing a terrible stalking incident.

For those who don’t know, Sonya Deville was involved in a horrific incident back on August 16, 2020. A person named Philip Thomas II decided to invade her house in Florida. He was apparently stalking her online for several years before trying to kidnap the WWE Superstar. Philip had been planning on the heinous activity for the past 8 months and hence he broke into her home with the intention of holding her hostage.
