Sonya Deville opens up about her pairing with Chelsea Green
Deville and Green competed as a tag team for the first time on the March 27th episode of RAW. The two defeated Candice LeRae and Mia Yim to qualify for the Women's WrestleMania Showcase match. From there on, they instantly became a crowd-favorite team and eventually won the championship titles as well.
While speaking in an interview with Maria Menounos, Deville revealed how WWE paired her with Green. She stated that they were put together randomly, but the duo instantly gelled together.
"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,” Sonya Deville said.
After Sonya Deville got injured, Chelsea Green continued her championship reign, teaming up with Piper Niven. Green has now been the title holder for over a hundred days.
