Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville Reunite After WWE Feud
Friends turned enemies turn friends once more.
Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville are kayfabe friends once more, having resolved their worked differences away from television.
Deville posted the following to Instagram earlier in the week:-
It's interesting that Sonya notes Mandy as the one to say "sorry," given that Rose was objectively the wronged party in their storyline. Regardless, the feud is clearly over.
Real-life best friends Rose and Deville had played televised partners first as two-thirds of Absolution, then as Fire and Desire, since moving from NXT to WWE's main roster in 2017. They were split earlier this year when it was revealed Sonya had conspired to keep her friend away from a potential suitor in Otis, working with Dolph Ziggler. A lengthy feud followed, with Deville reborn as an intense, believable heel, culminating in a No Disqualification Loser Leaves WWE match at SummerSlam 2020. Sonya hasn't been seen since losing that one, though this likely has more to do with WWE giving her a break following her horrifying home invasion in August.
Rose was sent to Monday Night Raw in the 2020 WWE Draft and is currently teaming with Dana Brooke. Deville wasn't part of the draft pool.
