In March, Deville spoke to Ariel Helwani on the Ariel Helwani Show, Deville was asked about a future in wrestling and if she's talked to anyone.
"I don't know what I want to do yet. That's the truth. I have had conversations with people, but nothing decided yet," she said. "I love wrestling, but I loved fighting MMA just the same. They are in the same boat right now. I had three amateur fights before I got to WWE. The only reason I stopped fighting MMA was because I got the opportunity for WWE and I was broke and bartending in LA and WWE offered me a salary to workout and train. I'd be stupid to say no, and it led me down this path that the last decade was, and I fell in love with it. My first love was fighting and acting in LA. That door is not closed either."
Asked if she would continue wrestling or just pop up, Deville replied, "The chances of me continuing my wrestling career and the chances of me reigniting my MMA career are about the same right now."
She has not fought since 2015.
