Summer Rae Discusses Total Divas, Rusev And More

Danielle Monet, formerly known as WWE superstar Summer Rae, recently appeared on an episode of Ring The Belle. On the show, she looked back on her WWE career and discussed a number of subjects, ranging from her slap of Natalya to her storyline breakup with Rusev.

On slapping Natalya on Total Divas:

Danielle Monet: “I love Natty. I thought I was horrible and really mean on Total Divas. People that know me in real life know who I am and know I would never do anything like that. I loved working with Natty. No one’s feelings would secretly be hurt.”

On WWE letting her cut her own promo on Rusev after their storyline was dropped after the TMZ leak:

Danielle Monet: “[This is] my favorite thing I ever did in WWE. I actually wrote this. That’s never been said….Higher powers that be were very upset. They thought I was the one that would suffer from this. So they were just like, ‘it’s not fair. Would you like to write your own promo?’ I’m really proud of it…I wrote the whole thing and I loved it. When I went in the back, it was like standing ovations. Stephanie, Vince…and definitely Armstrong, like everyone was back there. Stephanie even came out to me and she was like, ‘that was a slap, girl!’ I really feel bad for the writers for this because they gave us everything for 2-3 months and there was no payoff.”

On the rumors of Sasha Banks leaving WWE:

Danielle Monet: “I don’t know about that. There were also a lot of rumors about me going around and every girl on the main roster….I think a lot of it’s hearsay [and] a lot of the time, the dirt sheets aren’t right at all.”

On Sasha Banks and AJ Lee pitching to work with her:

Danielle Monet: “[Sasha] tried to get a storyline with me. AJ tried to get a storyline with me. We liked each other; she was cool. I loved working with Sasha. We had good chemistry.”

On pitching a BFFs reunion on the main roster:

Danielle Monet: “All the NXT stuff, I wish we had an opportunity on the main roster. I loved the BFFs. We had so many ideas. We were very much in that time where we got lost in the mix.”

On Layla Attacking Her With Cat Litter:

Danielle Monet: “Cat litter is poisonous for humans and I did not know this. No one really told us, so that’s why my head was down the whole time…. No one switched it out, so I was like, I’ll take milk in the face but Layla just kinda went for it. I remember going to the back, like we’re cool. Let me take a shower. Actually, I was on TV…so I had to go shower and get ready within like 30 minutes. I had to wash my hair and everything.”
