Sonya Deville is one of the most promising WWE female superstars of this era. However, at WWE SummerSlam 2020, Sonya lost a “loser leaves WWE match” against Mandy Rose.
WWE did not give an official statement after Sonya’s “departure.” However, Sonya shared a “This is goodbye” post on her Instagram. She is still listed as a WWE employee.
Although never specified, many believe this “departure” is nothing but a break before a much bigger return. Many argued she is taking a break from everything due to a recent assault on her. You can read about the probable reasons here.
