Sonya Deville Replaces Lana On Season 9 Of Total Divas

Sonya Deville is the newest cast member of "Total Divas."

Deville revealed the news on AfterBuzz TV?s SmackDown After Show. ?Part of being a WWE Superstar to me is showing the fans what happens outside of the ring. Who I am in the ring, and in my personal life, is important to defining my character," said Deville. "I am tough for a reason. I have been through things and I am the person I am for a lot of reasons and I love sharing those stories for the fans because it?s relatable. 

?And on that topic, I?ll be on Season 9 of Total Divas, which is something I am super excited about.?
