Sonya Deville has credited Rhea Ripley and The Miz as two names who’ve helped influence her look since returning to television.
In late 2020, Deville returned following a hiatus as WWE’s latest authority figure and remains in the role to this day.
Deville has worn an array of suits since returning and in an interview with Superstar Crossover, said she learned a lot about how to present one’s self from The Miz:
“I am big on what you wear, and your physical is like your representation. So go out there how you want to be perceived,” she claimed. “Like, I am not going to be one that goes out in sweatpants ever, that’s just not my vibe. I like to go out and kill it to the nines and have everything on point.
“Because at the very least, if you’re on TV for 30 seconds and you don’t have much going on in that moment, they’re going to remember you looking like a superstar. I learned that from people like Miz. Miz always looks the part, he always dresses the part, and I think that consistency and that extra effort subconsciously resonates with the fans. Like, ‘oh, they’re a big deal.’”
Deville’s last televised match was on the March 4, SmackDown, where she lost to Ronda Rousey.
