Sonya Deville Reveals Backstage Fight Between Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan During WWE Training
Former WWE Superstar Sonya Deville has revealed a shocking backstage altercation between Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan during their time at the WWE Performance Center. Speaking on CJ Perry’s “Identity Crisis” podcast, Deville detailed how a routine promo class exercise turned into a legitimate physical confrontation.
The incident occurred during a “pull-apart promo” drill, a standard training exercise where wrestlers practice physical confrontations. According to Deville, what began as a worked drill quickly escalated into reality.
"I’m feeling like wind like whiz past my ear and I’m like, yo, they’re really throwing,” Deville recalled. “And then I hear one of them say, ‘What, bitch?’ And then I’m like, ‘Wait, real.’
The situation intensified as both women began legitimately fighting.
"You could feel the intensity in someone’s body when they’re no longer working,” Deville explained. “Mandy had Gianna’s hair. Gianna had Mandy’s hair. And they’re screaming at each other and they’re swinging for the fences."
This revelation comes as all three women have taken different paths since their WWE developmental days. Morgan is currently recovering from a shoulder injury sustained in June, while Rose was released from WWE in December 2022, and Deville’s WWE contract ended in February 2025.
