The woman once known as Sonya Deville just made a quiet return to WWE televisionbut she wasnt in the ring, and she wasnt on the roster.
On the February 3rd episode of WWE NXT on The CW, Daria Raeformerly Sonya Devillewas seen sitting in the crowd as the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Titles were defended live on the show. Cameras cut to Rae just before The Elegance Brand (M by Elegance & Heather by Elegance) took on Sol Ruca and ZARIA.
Rae, now a TNA authority figure, made her debut on the premiere of Thursday Night iMPACT on AMC and currently shares that on-screen executive role with Santino Marella. Her appearance at NXT comes just a year after WWE chose not to renew her contract in February 2025, ending a decade-long run with the company.
With WWE and TNAs renewed working relationship heating up, Raes on-camera return in this context could be a sign of deeper cross-promotional moves to come.
Do you think Daria Rae will get more involved in WWEs crossover plans with TNA? Could we see her take on an on-screen WWE role again? Share your thoughts and let us know how you feel about her return.
