Summer Rae who is currently inactive from in ring action recently spoke to Golden Ring Collectibles where she revealed that some WWE wrestlers thought that she was going to appear in the women’s Royal Rumble match of 2023. She also talked about her 2022 Royal Rumble appearance. She said;
“So funny, Tenille (Emma) texted me from the Royal Rumble practice this last week and she goes, ‘I walked in and everyone –’ she goes, ‘Half the roster thought you were in the Rumble,’ and I was like, ‘What do you mean?’
“And she was like, ‘Everyone thought you were fabing them and you’re in the Rumble because you were training with Nattie,’ like two weeks ago and I was like, ‘If I was in the Rumble, I wouldn’t post that I’m training with Nattie. I’d make it a secret.’ Isn’t that funny? Actually, like Dana (Brooke) and all those people…
“(I didn’t use the ‘Summer Crush’ in 2022 women’s Royal Rumble) because they (WWE) told people they didn’t want everyone coming in and just hitting a bunch of moves. They didn’t want everyone coming in running a comeback because it gets a little monotonous…
“And Nattie and I had our feud so it was just nice to just get in there with her so, it was a cute little spot. Nattie could have slapped me a little quicker. There was like this weird lag time. But, it was good and Nattie had like 45 minutes of match to remember so…”
