On the first Friday Night SmackDown of the new year, Sonya Deville (Daria Berenato) made her return to WWE programming with a brief backstage cameo walking past members of the roster.
Deville has been absent from programming since losing a “Loser Leaves WWE” match against Mandy Rose this past August at SummerSlam.
The abrupt departure followed a scary incident where her home was broken into with the intruder arrested and charged with multiple offenses including aggravated stalking, attempted arm kidnapping, and criminal mischief. The case is still active and set to proceed.
It was noted to us by one source in the company that her return had been in the works for some time.
