Deville touched on the similarities and differences between WWE TV and acting.
A movie titled ‘DNA Secrets’ is being filmed in Florida and one of the actors in the film is Daria Berenato a.k.a. Sonya Deville of WWE.
The former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion is playing the role of a police officer. Film producer David Yates told Tampa Bay Times that the movie is about an antique store owner who ‘opens a Pandora’s box’ by gifting DNA kits to relatives. Several family members were killed and the store owner realized she could be next on the list. As she gets closer to the truth, she discovers that she is at the center of a situation that has put her entire family in danger.
Deville gave comments to 10 Tampa Bay about the similarities and differences between being on WWE TV and acting:
Obviously, the hustle and bustle, the hurry up and wait, the cameras, the memorization of lines, the having to constantly be ready and on is very similar. I have to say I do like that in filmmaking, you get more than one take. When you’re on Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown, it is live-live and that is it.
She’s been out of action since the summer of 2023. Deville was sidelined with a torn ACL. This past December, she resolved a firearm charge that stemmed from a February 2023 arrest. She resolved the charge by completing a six-month pretrial intervention program.
