Daria Berenato, formerly known as Sonya Deville, praises Paul Heyman for taking the time to work with her and jokingly takes a shot at the faction name Pure Fusion Collective.
WWE recently released the former Sonya Deville. Now, she's reflecting on her time with the company in a new interview with Denise Salcedo.
When asked about some of the people who took her under their wing, she shouted out Paul Heyman and spoke about how he used to work with her on her promos. She also threw in a joke at the name of her faction with Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark, the Pure Fusion Collective.
"I feel like this one's a popular one, because he helps so many people in so many ways, but Paul Heyman has been someone that I've always gone to. Me and Paul would sit in Gorilla before the show started, and he would help me write promos. I'd cut a promo to him, and he'd be like, 'No, say it like this,' or, 'What about this?' Like, we would sit for hours and chat about my character," she said. "The last faction I was in, he was helping me with stuff. Pure Fusion Collective was actually supposed to be called just Pure Fusion. I wanted a third word because I wanted to have an abbreviation, because I didn't like the name. I think the entire internet's working on that. I mean, I'm not saying anyone tried to sabotage me, but the name was a bad start. I'm just kidding."
