WWE forced to stop match early after Sonya Deville suffers injury during live supershow as medics rush to help star
WWE were forced to call off a match after wrestling superstar Sonya Deville suffered an injury.
The 29-year-old and fellow SmackDown performer Liv Morgan were challenging SmackDown Women’s champ Charlotte Flair in a triple threat bout on Sunday.
The clash was held at a WWE house show at the Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Florida.
However, it came to a halt when Deville was seemingly legitimately hurt as medics raced onto the scene before she was assisted to the back.
This incident comes just over a week after Deville revealed a gruesome gash across the top of her eye suffered at the Royal Rumble.
And she has now taken to social media to show that she now needed SEVEN MORE stitches to her other eye after this latest blow.
Deville, who previously admitted that she “loved” being the first openly lesbian wrestler in WWE, entered the Rumble at number 27.
She managed to survive until she was eventually eliminated by Asuka, who hit her with a vicious kick to the head before Rhea Ripley went on to win the Rumble.
The grappler, real name Daria Rae Berenato, started out as a participant in the reality competition show Tough Enough, where she was eliminated but still inked a deal with WWE along with former tag team partner Mandy Rose.
Sonya debuted on the main roster in 2017 as a part of Absolution and later became Fire and Desire with Mandy Rose before the pair went their separate ways.

In August 2020, Phillip A Thomas II attempted to kidnap Deville from her home in Florida after planning it for eight months.
Philip Thomas II was still in the home in possession of a knife, mace, plastic zip ties, and duct tape when the police arrived and found him and arrested him.
