Summer Rae and WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella were part of the WWE Divas roster at the same point which led them to feature in action on multiple occasions. The two were also a part of the inaugural reality TV series in WWE history, Total Divas. Apparently, the producers of that show were the reason that Brie didn’t invite Fandango’s former dancing partner to her wedding.
Brie Bella married former WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan, real name Bryan Danielson, on April 11, 2014, and the entire journey to the marriage was documented through Total Divas. Backstage footage from the wedding aired on the May 25, 2014, episode of the E reality show.

Speaking on The Bellas Podcast, Brie Bella noted that it was the producers’ wish that she shouldn’t invite Summer Rae to the ceremony. The WWE Hall of Famer still regrets the idea, to date as she was willing to go against the idea on that memorable day of her life,
“I remember they kinda pushed me to not invite Summer to my wedding. I had to have a talk with her backstage […] But I felt bad that was a thing, and I’m actually disappointed in my 29, 30-year-old self, however old I was, that I actually went with that.”
Summer Rae and Brie Bella had a backstage fallout during Total Divas
There was apparently some issue going on between the two as shown in an earlier episode where Brie accused Summer Rae of behaving in a “sl*tty, classless” way after she asked Bryan’s opinion about someone she spent the night with. Brie wasn’t happy about this asking but even Nikki Bella also encouraged her sister not to let this issue come between the two fellow Total Divas cast members, especially during the wedding.
However, it should be noted that Brie wasn’t the only Divas roster member with whom Summer ended up having a fallout. On the March 30, 2014, episode of Total Divas, one of the most dramatic scenes in the show’s history went down as she turned up at Natalya’s house and slapped the former SmackDown Women’s Champion in the face.
Natalya also appeared on The Bella Twins’ podcast alongside other cast members Cameron and JoJo Offerman to defend the comments passed by Brie Bella on Summer Rae just because the producers were trying to save their TV angles.
“I don’t even really remember why Summer and I had so much conflict,” Natalya said. “All of a sudden I was just engulfed in flames of conflict with Summer. I was wondering what was it that p****d me off so much? She and I had all sorts of beef.”
