Sonya Deville, a WWE Superstar, recently took a massive shot at fellow wrestler Dakota Kai on Twitter. The jab came in the form of a tweet where Deville called Kai “forgettable”. This unexpected attack has raised eyebrows in the WWE world, with many fans wondering what triggered Deville’s outburst.
To put this exchange into context, Dakota Kai made her return to WWE two years ago at SummerSlam. Since then, she has been a part of the Damage CTRL faction alongside Bayley and IYO SKY. Kai has made a name for herself as a mid-card act on WWE TV, working consistently and building a solid reputation within the company.
The incident unfolded during a post-show press conference after Survivor Series: WarGames. IYO SKY, a member of Damage CTRL, mentioned that she is part of the faction, which prompted Dakota Kai to respond. Kai jokingly reminded the media that they must have forgotten about her. Sonya Deville, seemingly taking offense to this remark, jumped into the conversation and fired back at Kai.
Deville’s tweet was a scathing one, stating, “You are pretty forgettable… I mean seeing as half the time you’re on the bench.” The tone was abrasive, and many fans have taken to social media to react to the exchange. It’s unclear what specific incident or remark prompted Deville’s outburst, but the timing of the tweet suggests that it may be related to the recent match between Damage CTRL and Deville’s team on RAW.
This isn’t the first time Sonya Deville has spoken about her experiences as an openly gay woman in WWE. Back in 2018, she sat down with Sky Sports to discuss her journey, saying, “My goal with talking about sexuality publicly is just that the scared little girl that I was four years ago before I came out on WWE Tough Enough – little girl like that at home, or little boy can see me do it and be like, ‘Wow, well, if she did it, then maybe it’s okay that I do it’.”
In her message, Deville emphasized the importance of equality and acceptance, regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexuality. Deville’s words serve as a powerful reminder of the impact that coming out can have on others.
The tweet from Deville has sparked a lively debate among WWE fans, with some questioning whether Dakota Kai has been handled poorly by WWE over the past two years. Deville’s last appearance on RAW was on November 11, 2024, where her team suffered a loss at the hands of Damage CTRL. It’s possible that this loss has left a sour taste in her mouth, prompting her to take aim at Kai.
