Danielle Moinet (formerly known as Summer Rae) says she gets the itch to return to WWE all the time.
During a recent interview with Talk Sport, Moinet talked about how her background with WWE helps in her new role as an interviewer and working on the social media team for Bare Knuckle Boxing.
Moinet responded:
“My role with the company, I do backstage interviews, in-ring interviews. I do a lot of social media for them and it works out coming with my WWE background and background in combat sports. My fans love it and it’s been fun getting to know the game.”
Moinet says WWE will always be a part of her:
“I’m still very good friends with a lot of the girls and a lot of the guys in WWE, and I still watch it avidly. I’m such a big fan, and it’s just a part of me, it always will be. And you know, I get the itch to go back all the time.”
Moinet was asked about who she enjoyed working with in WWE. She mentioned Saraya, formerly known as Paige, Natalya, Mercedes Mone, and several others.
“Loved working with Natalya. Of course, we had a big rivalry with Total Divas and though she is Bret Hart’s niece, she says to this day, people talk about me and the slap heard around the world. So, that’s fun. I’m still friends with Sasha, Mercedes, she’s been killing it. Naomi, of course. You know, the list goes on. I love The Big Show. The Big Show is just amazing. He took me under his wing when I first started.”
Moinet was with WWE from 2011 to 2017. She worked as Fandango’s valet and dance partner, and was also involved in a memorable romance angle with Rusev, Lana, and Dolph Ziggler. She returned to WWE briefly in the 2022 Women’s Royal Rumble, where she was eliminated by Natalya in under a minute. Prior to signing with WWE, Moinet played for the Chicago Bliss of the Lingerie Football League from 2008 to 2011, making the All-Star team in her final year.
Some speculation about a return to wrestling for Moinet took place last month after she posted the below cryptic Tweet:
