Sonya Deville Injures Ronda’s Knee Ahead of WrestleMania

Jason Nawara

In the week since Ronda Rousey’s one thumb up performance—not two thumbs up because one hand was tied behind her back, duh—she’s been on Facebook Gaming, thoroughly enjoying the afterglow of putting a beatdown on Sonya Deville in front of the crowd in Saudi Arabia. She’s also been giving major accolades to the fresh date and coffee situation going on over there.

Now, a month after her shocking appearance at the Royal Rumble, we have two impressive Ronda victories to enjoy. But with the WWE Universe, there’s always the question of what’s next? Or who’s next? We know Ronda has had both of her eyes on Charlotte Flair, but with just over three weeks to go until WrestleMania, who knows what could possibly happen.

But first, a recap: Michael Cole had a quick little interview with Ronda to have her explain just why she came back. To sum it up: Ronda wanted to follow in the badass footsteps of her mom, who became the first world Judo champion from the United States, all as a single mother, all while getting her engineering degree. Ann Maria DeMars is badass head to toe. Especially in the head area that holds her brain. And that’s saying something considering her aptitude at hand-to-hand combat. We digress…

So Ronda came back to show her daughter there are no bounds to badassery. Which Charlotte Flair took exception to. Charlotte’s convinced she’ll make Ronda tap at WrestleMania.

Then Sonya Deville acted like the dastardly heel she is and wrecked Ronda’s surgically-repaired knee. Perfect for a Figure Four Leglock. Annoying, these two. Ronda needs to rest. And heal that knee.

But of course, that won’t happen and get the definitive answer of who is next for Ronda: Sonya Deville. On SmackDown. One week from today. Is Ronda walking into another trap?
