Sonya Deville has been proudly representing the LGBTQ community in WWE for some time now, and it’s not big secret that Sonya and Mandy Rose pitched a possible romance storyline to WWE officials.
In the end the Sonya Deville/Mandy Rose relationship didn’t escalate on television, and Deville recently spoke to Forbes about why WWE hasn’t done a proper LGBTQ storyline yet.
“So I feel like it’s all about doing it properly and making it mean something when, and if we do it. And I don’t think it’s a matter of if, I do think it’s a matter of when and I have, you know, Stephanie McMahon. She’s been a huge part in helping me making all my dreams come to fruition and the inclusivity that I want to see in the company. She kind of has helped forefront that movement and that idea that I’ve had.
So I think it’s a matter of when and we want to do it the right way and we want to do it so that the community feels represented and supported in the best possible manner. So it’s definitely been something that’s been in talks for a couple years now, and I would love to see it happen in the near future. But once again, timing is everything and we’re going to make sure that it’s done right.”
As Sonya mentioned, timing is everything, so it will be interesting to see if WWE moves forward with this idea. Stay tuned.
