Sonya Deville shockingly made a return to NXT on last night's episode, joining Toxic Attraction members Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin in beating down Women's Championship Number One Contender Alba Fyre.
The Monday Night Raw star disguised herself as a fan and attacked Fyre after her singles win over Jayne, and the trio of heels capped the moment off by triple powerbombing the Scottish star through the announce table. Deville confirmed she'd be facing Fyre next week in an interview after the assault.
Deville was a longstanding partner of Toxic Attraction leader and current NXT Champion Mandy Rose on the main roster before their Fire & Desire team split in 2020. She returned from a sabbatical to assume an authority figure role in 2021 before getting back into the swing of full-time competition earlier this year.

It wasn't made explicitly clear if Deville's arrival would be permanent, but it's possible she may last beyond her single match with Fyre. Mandy Rose is presumably off television at present due to the sad passing of her brother last weekend. She's still tentatively set to take on Fyre at NXT Halloween Havoc on October 22nd.
