It is pretty unfortunate that Sonya Deville picked up a terrible ACL injury last Friday on Smackdown and she would now be out of action for a number of months. Last night on RAW, it had been confirmed that new Tag Team champions would be crowned soon and there was no appearance from Chelsea Green either.
It is really unfortunate that Sonya Deville got injured when she finally won a big title. She had been working in WWE for eight long years and this was the first time she won a title in WWE. Deville addressed her injury recently when she spoke on her Twitter. Here is what she had to say;
Sonya Deville’s ACL Injury Nightmare: Are the Tag Team Titles Cursed?
“Obviously, the tag team titles are cursed. I’m just kidding, but like not really. As all of you already probably know and heard, thank you TMZ, I tore my left ACL last week on SmackDown in my match against Bianca and Charlotte. Obviously, I will be out for an extended period of time due to the fact that I have to get surgery tomorrow. First and foremost, I want to say thank you to everyone who has sent their well wishes and messaged me. I really appreciated it. It means a lot.

“Obviously, you guys all know, I’ve been working the last eight-plus years in the WWE and my wrestling career to obtain a title of some sort. I finally got my hands on the Women’s Tag Team Titles with Chelsea and we’ve been champs for 20-something days. Obviously, it’s super bitter to say it’s come to an end due to an injury, especially being that it’s my first injury in wrestling and sports in general.
Sonya Deville Picked Up Injury Last Friday At Smackdown
“I’ve been a lifelong athlete, since I was five or six. Obviously, it’s super disappointing and couldn’t have come at a worse time, but I don’t think any injury comes at a great time. That’s just how the cookie crumbles. My life has kind of been a journey of trials and tribulations, just like so many others. We all go through ups and downs, but something that has always been part of my character and who I am is, I love being tested, and I love testing my willpower and strength and mental and physical durability.
“I feel like, coming back from this injury, although it’s unfortunate, I feel like it’s going to give me a bigger motivation and passion for what I already love doing, and that’s being in the WWE. I love you guys, I wanted to thank you guys for all your support, and tell you that I’m going to be back sooner rather than later and I’m going to be ready to put my hair up and square up.”
Utilizing the Women’s Tag Team titles might give WWE the opportunity to use the Women’s division a little better. Booking a Battle Royal or a big tournament using most of the women of the roster. Chelsea Green should get a new tag team partner too. We wish a speedy recovery to the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Sonya Deville.
