Sonya Deville Shocked By WWE Release, Was In The Middle Of New Contract Talks

Sonya Deville has revealed her shock at recent WWE release, with Deville in the midst of contract talks at the time of her exit.

Deville was one of several names released by WWE in early February, with Deville - aka Daria Berenato - addressing her exit in a video uploaded to her personal YouTube account:

“As a lot of you guys know, 10 days ago now, I got the call. My contract was not being renewed with the WWE,” Berenato said. “I was in Washington, D.C. for a cheer tournament with our little one. I was actually running on the treadmill working out with our older one Giovanna, and I got a phone call. We were in the middle of negotiations, and so I thought the phone call was going to be the middle ground that we met on, an agreement, a contract. And it was, ‘We are not renewing your contract.’ So, complete transparency, which this is really the first time I’m saying this, I was shocked.”

Berenato continued, revealing her feelings about her release in the days that followed:



“First it was shock. At first it was like, ‘Whoa.’ But then it was almost like instantaneously, my trust in the universe allowed me to just be at peace with it instantly. Because you can’t fight fate. That chapter was meant to close, and all these new beautiful blessings were meant to come,” Berenato said. “Just the way things happened, like is there anything more serendipitous? It happened for a reason, so how could you be mad at that? How could you be upset or frustrated or even wonder ‘What if?’ Life’s too short. I have so many dreams, so many things I want to do.

“And I still love everybody there. And I have a great - like, my memory from that place is nothing but positive. And I want to keep it that way. But also I respect that the universe is like, ‘Hey, that chapter’s closed.’ Right now, forever, whatever, it doesn’t matter. But onto the next, let’s go. I have two kids and a wife to take care of. We have a family. Like, we’ve gotta keep going. So I think that just allowed me to have like instant peace. It was like, it’s all good.”

Deville is set to appear at a host of wrestling and pop culture conventions in 2025.
