Daria Rae Berenato (born September 24, 1993 in Shamong Township, New Jersey , United States of America ) is an Italian / American wrestler who is under the ring name Sonya Deville with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) under contract and in their weekly Show SmackDown occurs.
Private life
Daria Rae Berenato was born to Italian parents in Shamong Township, New Jersey. She attended Seneca High School in Tabernacle, New Jersey and began training in mixed martial arts (MMA for short) at the age of 16 .
After her outing on an episode of the WWE talent show Tough Enough , Berenato became the first active homosexual wrestler to support the LGBT (lesbian / gay / bisexual / transgender) community. Berenato worked as an actress in several series and films and was co-host of the Youtube show UFC AfterBuzz. In the film "The Honor" she played a Christian raised girl who falls in love with her Muslim neighbor. In reality, too, she fell in love with her acting partner Christina Heath and the two were a couple for a short time. Since 2016 she has been in a relationship with former NXT wrestler Zahra Schreiber, the ex-girlfriend of WWE Superstar Seth Rollins . In 2018 they made their relationship public.
MMA career
Since there are no MMA leagues for women in New Jersey, Berenato only has to assert itself against male participants in training and tournaments. She wins an "All-Boys" tournament and goes to the American Top Team (ATT) in Coconut Creek , Florida on the day of her high school graduation at the age of 17 to pursue her dream of a professional MMA career. Berenato, who has since moved to Los Angeles , California , is taking her active MMA career on hold as # 9 of the State of California's MMA fighters in 2015 to take part in the WWE talent show WWE Tough Enough.
