Sonya Deville didn’t hold back when addressing Dakota Kai’s place in the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament. After Triple H updated the tournament brackets on Monday, Deville, who wasn’t included in the competition, took to Twitter to air her grievances in a scathing promo that left fans talking.
In her video response, Deville slammed the decision to reward Kai for her comeback after multiple injuries. “That’s all I’ve been doing my entire career, my entire life—fighting! Because I am a fighter, and I don’t just mean in the ring,” Deville began, setting the tone for her fiery message. “I have literally overcome things, but I don’t sit here and brag about how much I deserve things. And you have Dakota Kai in the tournament, and now what? We are applauding her because she came back from her fourth injury in four years?”
Deville’s frustration was evident as she questioned the priorities of the tournament. “That’s something to brag about now? That’s something you’re rewarded for now? What are we doing?” she continued, taking a sharp jab at the decision to push Kai forward in the competition.
The promo comes after Kai defeated Shayna Baszler and Katana Chance to advance in the tournament, sparking mixed reactions from fans. While some celebrated Kai’s resilience, others echoed Deville’s sentiments, questioning why a competitor with such an injury history should be in contention for the prestigious title.
This isn’t the first time Deville has voiced her frustration with WWE’s creative direction, but her latest remarks have reignited debates about fairness and merit within the roster. With the tournament heating up, and Dakota Kai continuing her journey toward the title, Deville’s comments have added a new layer of tension to an already competitive landscape.
