10 WWE Superstars Who Are Being Totally Overlooked
3. Sonya Deville
With a legit MMA background, Sonya Deville should have been portrayed as a tough as nails badass from the start, but a burial at the hands of Ronda Rousey likely means that it will now be an uphill battle to ever make sure she's viewed as a credible threat to her fellow Superstars. Bad booking can be blamed for that, and her partnership with Mandy Rose just feels extremely stale now.
Deville is WWE's only openly gay Superstar on the main roster, and the company missed a trick by failing to make that known to anyone who doesn't watch Total Divas. After all, she's someone who could have shown many wrestling fans that they're represented on RAW and SmackDown too, and while her sexuality should by no means decide whether she receives a push, she does have the talent to back that up.
WWE appeared to back out of plans to explore a romantic relationship between Deville and Rose, and so she's now used as little more than a prop in the peculiar storyline that's playing out between God's Greatest Creation and Otis. If Deville is given the chance to break free, though, we could see things turn around for her.
