Moinet, who performed as Summer Rae between 2011 and 2017, debuted on RAW as Fandango’s dance partner shortly after WrestleMania 29. Although her first main-roster appearance was supposed to be a one-off, the former NXT Superstar received a lot of praise online.
Speaking on Renee Paquette’s The Sessions podcast, Moinet recalled how Triple H delivered the news of her call-up from NXT. He also explained that he wanted her to help Fandango win matches in the same way Chyna assisted him.
Moinet performed as a wrestler and valet on the main roster between 2013 and 2016. She received her release from Vince McMahon’s company in 2017 after she spent a year away from television due to injuries.
