Summer Rae, Renee Paquette (fka Renee Young in WWE), and Saraya (fka Paige in WWE) used to be the original cast members of Total Divas, the first-ever reality TV series produced by the WWE. Their private life was shown on national television alongside other WWE female superstars like WWE Hall of Famers The Bella Twins, Naomi, Eva Marie, Mandy Rose, Natalya, and even Ronda Rousey.
Days are long gone for these Divas to give shots for the camera for Total Divas in beautiful locales as none of them belong to the company. Besides, the TV series itself was not renewed since 2019 due to the fallen numbers. However, that doesn’t mean that the superstars aren’t in touch. In fact, the above-mentioned trio had a brief reunion in AEW.

Details from Summer Rae’s WWE career
While Renee Paquette and Saraya are under contract with the AEW for multiple years to follow, Summer Rae hasn’t wrestled full-time in a ring since 2016. Back then she was battling injuries involving bone spurs in her neck and nerve damage in her arm. For a long time, she remained inactive from in-ring competition and thereby got released from her contract in October 2017.
Before coming to the WWE in 2011, Summer Rae enjoyed a career in the Lingerie Football League. During her NXT days, she found success as part of the BFFs with Sasha Banks before being called up to the main roster as the dancing partner cum girlfriend of Fandango. Later, she was seen as a romantic interest for the likes of Rusev (AEW’s Miro), Dolph Ziggler, Damian Sandow, and Tyler Breeze.
