5 things you need to know about Paige's new stablemates: Sonya Deville

Sonya is WWE's first openly gay female wrestler

Sonya has never tried to hide her sexuality and when she signed a contract with WWE back in 2015, she became the first openly gay female wrestler in the company's history.

She has never allowed her sexuality to define her and WWE have never mentioned it as part of their programming, which means that it's unlikely that the company will actually use it as part of her storylines.

It seems that the company are finally moving forward and this could be a sign of things to come for the women's division over the next few years. Sonya is now a main roster superstar, which means that her personal life will definitely become public knowledge over the next few weeks.
