Sonya Deville discussed her on-screen authority role in WWE during a recent interview on Superstar Crossover with Josh Martinez.
Deville noted that it started off as a week-by-week thing and then she had a conversation with Vince McMahon. She said,
“It was kind of week-by-week and kind of fly by the coattails. I remember having a conversation with Vince [McMahon] when I got back and I was like, ‘What are we doing with the plan?’ I had a couple of ideas. He had kind of a different vision. We were kind of just throwing things at each other. I was like, ‘I have a three-piece suit by the way, and I think it would be cool to have that be part of my character.’ Just like a power strength role. I was explaining to him how I saw my character evolving, and he was like, ‘You have a suit? Go get it.’ Long story short, that was his vision. ‘Let’s put her in an authority role, she fits perfect.’ He just saw me as that and so we started out as Adam Pearce’s assistant, then I moved my way up the ranks, and here I am running both brands now. It definitely evolved as we went along, and it was definitely a week-by-week thing for sure.”
