#5 SmackDown Survivor Series Team: Sonya Deville
Sonya Deville hasn’t been back in the ring for some time. She has aligned herself with fellow former MMA fighter turned wrestler Shayna Baszler. A great way for Sonya to make her in ring return would be as a part of the Survivor Series SmackDown Women’s team. The obvious way this could be achieved would be Sonya Deville using her authority to take someone else's place.
It would have made more sense for Naomi to have already been on the team and taken out by Shayna Baszler in order for Sonya to insert herself into the match. Deville is a fantastic in-ring performer and just as good on the mic but has not competed inside the squared circle since 2019.
Survivor Series will be an opportune moment for Sonya to return to in-ring action as WWE has been slowly building up to this. If not now, then when? They may be saving her in-ring return for the Royal Rumble, but fans might want her back sooner rather than later.
