"I don't understand what the issue is" - Sonya Deville opens up on her rivalry with Naomi
WWE Official Sonya Deville has shared some insights on her bitter rivalry with SmackDown Superstar Naomi.
This week on SmackDown, Sonya cost Naomi yet another match against SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair. Backstage, Adam Pearce acting on the advice of Eric Bischoff, decided to make Sonya Deville vs. Naomi official for next week's show.
WWE correspondent Megan Morant caught up with Sonya in a digital exclusive interview to get her thoughts on the matchup.
Sonya seemed flustered during the interview. The WWE Official mentioned that she was looking forward to getting into the ring with Naomi next week.
Deville also mentioned that Naomi is a fierce competitor and a former champion and it would be a great match. However, she cut the interview short and left.
Here's what Sonya had to say:
"I'm excited, I'm happy. I'm always down for some competition. I don't understand what the issue is. I have no issue with Naomi but I don't think the same goes for her. She's a fierce and talented competitor. I think she was the champion like three, four or five years ago or something like that. So, it should be a great match, yeah. It's great, everything's great!"
