Sonya Deville says the Pure Fusion Collective faction name was “terrible”

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Sonya Deville discussed the end of her WWE run. Sonya commented on why WWE didn’t revisit her partnership with Chelsea Green…

“They just didn’t want to go back to it. They didn’t want to go back to it. I had pitched that it would be a natural angle to go after Piper and be like, What the hell? Bitch, that’s my f*cking championship! Very natural angle. But they had this idea for this faction, and so that was where we were gonna go. I will say, while I was out, I did pitch coming back in my MMA gimmick, like a modified version, but I did pitch going back to my roots, and I think Triple H had the same kind of idea. He was like, Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Let’s do this group. When he told me the group, I was like, Okay, interesting. I didn’t know how the three of us were going to blend together, me, Zoe and Shayna, in PFC. So I was open minded to it, and of course, whatever he wants. I saw myself more as the mouthpiece in that scenario and I was like, okay, but we couldn’t get our footing. And then we were given the name Pure Fusion Collective, and I thought that was terrible. I don’t think it was ever going to be the thing, but we tried to make it work.” (quote courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com)
