Sonya Deville was recently arrested in New Jersey

Earlier this week, it was reported that Sonya Deville was arrested on February 19, 2023, in New Jersey for carrying a firearm in her car.

Despite the incident, she is scheduled to appear on upcoming WWE shows and won't be taken off the road. According to a report from PWInsider, the 29-year-old is expected to make appearances for the company.

The report also noted that there is no heat on Deville regarding her arrest. WWE was aware that she was carrying a firearm after a stalker tracked down her home and broke in several years ago.

Deville didn't carry the gun freely, rather it was locked inside the glove department of her car. She is slated to appear in court later this month. The Atlantic City Police Department also issued a statement on the incident:

Sonya Deville is advertised to face Charlotte Flair at the Madison Square Garden

Sonya Deville is set to challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship at an upcoming WWE show at Madison Square Garden.

Deville, who has unsuccessfully challenged for both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships in the past, will aim to dethrone The Queen on March 12th.

A win for the 29-year-old will replace the WrestleMania 39 match between Flair and #1 contender, Rhea Ripley. Instead, The Eradicator would face Sonya Deville at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
