32-Year-Old Star to Hold On to Tag Titles “In the Mean Time” Sonya Deville Gets Set to Heal Unfortunate Injury

It seems that the Triple H‘s woes with Women’s Tag Team titles have no end. After failing to lift the division through Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler’s combo, WWE tried fan favorite Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez who were beaten by the duo of Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green three weeks back for the title, after a lackluster run. But as unfortunate as the belts are, another injury has marred the path of Sonya Deville and the championships.  

In an emotional message for Sonya Deville, this 32-year-old, Chelsea Greenposted on Instagram wishing her a speedy recovery from an unfortunate injury.

WWE Champion wishes for Sonya Deville’s speedy recovery

One-half of WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Chelsea Green posted an emotional message for her partner Sonya Deville on 8th August. She posted pictures of herself with the Tag team belts and a post from TMZ stating Sonya Deville’s physical condition. The post is captioned, “In the meantime, I’ll be holding onto these… Sending kisses & hugs & candy & rainbows & butterflies to my tag team partner @sonyadevillewwe while she heals.”

Chelsea Green seems pretty happy holding on to the two belts, perfectly reminiscing her heel persona from her gimmick. Well, it would be very difficult for Chelsea to defend those titles in the absence of her injured partner, Sonya Deville.  

Deville’s injury means the curse of the Women’s tag team titles continues but how did the one half of the tag team champions get injured in the first place?

Sonya Deville injures herself against Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair

Sonya Deville injured herself during her match against the EST of WWE Bianca Belair and Queen Charlotte Flair during an episode of SmackDown just before SummerSlam. From the footage, it is not clear when she sustained the injury. She went on to complete the match, but later on; she confirmed her injury through her Instagram account on 8th August. The video had the caption “The comeback is always stronger than the setback.”

In her video, she said “So, obviously the tag team titles are cursed, I’m just kidding. But. Anyways, as all of you probably already know that I’m hurt. Thank you. I have torn my left ACL last week on SmackDown in my match against Bianca and Charlotte. And obviously, I will be out for an extended period due to the fact that I have to get surgery tomorrow.”

Sonya Deville would be undergoing surgery on her left ACL on 9th August and would be out for an undefined period. In the video, she also revealed that this is the first injury in her wrestling career of over 8 years (WWE and NXT). She was upset over the fact that she had to lose the belt so soon as this was her first titles win since she got into the main roster in 2017 alongside Mandy Rose. 

Although Sonya Deville has promised to come back stronger, it is not clear when she will return. This has also jeopardized the path of Chelsea Green who has done some serious work as a heel. It will be interesting to know what WWE creatives would do with the belt and with Chelsea Green. Will they go back to Liv and Raquel?
