It’s hard for former WWE Superstars to get rid of the itch of coming back for one more match, and Summer Rae isn’t immune to the itch. Real name Daniell Moinet, the blonde-headed Diva gained huge popularity upon her debut on WWE television more than a decade ago as Fandango’s dance partner. Then she went on to feature in competition for a couple of years before moving on from the WWE.
Long gone from the professional wrestling scene, Summer Rae recently noted in an interview session with Justin Dhillon of the Wrestling Classic that she’s been working with Chavo Guerrero on some Hollywood projects that require wrestling. That being said, and after receiving some encouragement from Guerrero, she’s admittedly picked up the itch to get back in the ring.
“I’ve been getting the itch a little bit. I’ve been doing some projects in Hollywood that require some wrestling, and so Chavo Guerrero recently told me that I still have it, and I’m like, ‘Chavo, don’t say that!’ He also gave me a Guerrero shirt, and I wear it now, and I feel like I’m one of them,” revealed Summer Rae.
