Sonya Deville returned from her ACL injury in May 2024 and aligned herself with Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark. The group would become known as the Pure Fusion Collective.
The trio were on and off television throughout the year, and had a strong showing as a group in the 2024 women's Royal Rumble.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Deville discussed the PFC.
“I felt like there could have been a more clear direction in where we were going and what we could have done and what we could have brought to the table. I saw P.F.C. working, kind of only under one umbrella, and I saw it working, we were three chicks that were fed up with the system, anti-authority, that were just gonna kick ass and take names. That doesn’t mean winning every match by any means. It was more like, let’s beat people up backstage. Let me be more like the puppeteer/manipulator backstage because of my history as GM and everything. I thought that would be a cool angle, but let’s just mess people up. That’s what I saw it being," she said.
Deville's contract was not renewed by WWE, making her a free agent as of February.
Elsewhere during the interview, Deville discussed negotiations with WWE. You can find her full comments by clicking here.
