Summer Rae: What to do with her?

She's got the looks, oozes charisma and star quality and from seeing her matches in NXT, she can work. It's a little baffling that they seem unable to find much for her to do on TV.

WWE have just made her seem annoying and whiny, I wish theyd just really do the opposite, but when I saw on NXT a while back... She was good in the ring but I've never really seen her in a full match after that, which is disappointing.

They should pair her up with Eva marie when she finally returns and have them tag so that Eva's return isn't so pressured then have them feud because imo Summer is a safe enough worker to help Eva especially since all the social media videos/pics hyping Eva's training that it's going to be all eyes on her 'transformation'. This way Summer gets some airtime working with Eva and Eva gets all the attention from her new moveset revamp.

They had something with the tension between her and Nattie. It even made Nattie interesting for once. But it went nowhere important.

Being that Natalya is a face atm, they ought to try reviving that with underhanded heel Summer. It would give Natalya her own thing to do in addition being support for Cesaro and Kidd.

She definitely shows she has a natural heel charisma. They didn't call her Summer Raetings for new reason while she was on Total Divas. She needs to be a heel valet for a midcarder (a rising one - not a midcarder for life like Barrett/Ziggler). I propose a debuting EC3 (once TNA folds for good), Kalisto (Tajiri-Torrie Wilson management without the ethnic dressing of Summer. They can call her Verano though), or repackage her as Sister Abigail.

She's so much better than what she's perceived as. This shit wouldn't happen if Vince actually gave a fuck about the Women's division (I refuse to call them Divas).

I don't get it. On TV she's pretty much just used as another pretty face who's there just to look good. She's so much more than that on NXT. She's actually a good wrestler, and a great character on screen.

I don't know what I'd do with her because that division is in complete shambles right now. It's gonna take a while before people can take women on the main roster seriously as competitors.

I stopped watching Total Divas when they were just trying to make her the bitch of the show.

She's so down to earth and nice, I don't get why they don't just make her a top character. They've toned down her ring work so it looks horrible compared to her stuff in NXT, they've made her jump from one guy to another and now she's a heel with no direction.

She'd make an excellent babyface and in the one match that she was one she got a great response from the crowd.

It's almost as if she is the new Jillian Hall....the pretty blonde that is a good worker but not in any real storyline other than to be annoying after being a valet to someone (Jillian to JBL, Summer to Fandango)....next thing you know they give her a singing gimmick...

She is the one that is there to put over the faces.

It's funny because I would say the only thing holding her back are her looks. She doesn't have a pretty face whatsoever.

In saying that, I think she is one of the absolute most wasted talents in the WWE. Summer has bucket loads of charisma, she is a capable wrestler and she is a natural on the mic.

Some people are natural heels and that's what the WWE has with Summer. It is not hard to identify, that is why it is all the more baffling as to why WWE don't use her more efficiently.

The thing is, we have another lady with equal amounts (if not more) charisma than Summer- Eva Marie. Once Eva spends some time in NXT and then approaches the main roster, there will be no stopping her. If they're going to make Summer a top heel in the women's division, they need to do it now. Before it is too late.

I love Summer rae she's a great addition to the diva's division.

She was the best in NXT I loved her character and she delivered some hellish matches. I want to see her as her nxt character.

Ditch that awful theme song. Give her something more heel like because IMHO she works best as a heel. But I wouldn't be opposed to her being a face who acts like she doesn't care about the fans but slips up and slaps a hand on the way to the ring.


They should pair her up with a Returning Eva Marie, Summer could be backstage talking to Rosa about her movie. Then Cameron and Emma Walk up,

Cameron says "Yayyy Good for you you're in a D list movie how cute not Emmy worthy at all" Emma chimes in and says

"Like that's anything to brag about I bet you can get it for steal at Walmart what 5.99?" Cameron says

"Girl more like 1.99" They laugh.

Summer then says

"Aw what's wrong Cameron are you upset the only camera you've been in front of the in the past few weeks is your phone camera. Oh and Emma you would know about stealing wouldn't you?"

Cameron steps into Summer's face before things get heated Rosa steps in and tells them to calm down. Emma challenges Summer to a tag match with herself and cameron.

Summer accepts and Cameron does her girl bye Summer tells her to shut up.

Match comes around Cameron and Emma Make their entrances. Summer comes out with a mic she says

"I did some searching and found an all red diva to be my BFF and tag partner. She's smoking hot and ready to put a stop to you thots"

Eva Marie comes out.

And Bam we got a nice side feud with four divas being used. And giving Eva's redebut in sorts some special entrance since she has been training her ass off. And giving Summer rae a new stable.

They could be called Summer of Red or Red Summer Spectacular.

My two cents.

Her rush call up and being Fandango valet destroy her career I think. she is not finish her job in NXT and she do ridiculous dance at main roster. her role at main roster stuck since then.

She was argubly greatest thing happen in NXT women division back in 2013. Her vs Paige feud made me start to care about NXT and I would say it's best feud in NXT's women history. I still miss them until now. she also was part of the reason why some divas is relavance(before they back to irrelavance, or whatsoever)

The other thing I feel she is special is she could do great as heel or face. I remember she had a face persona once in match with Cameron. surprise she do well too.

My idea is she should disappear a while and repackaged her with other divas(Emma is best choice I think) debut them as one of dominant forced. she done well in NXT it was hard to believe she can't in main roster.

Yeah in my eyes she should be the face of the divas division. She's smoking hot, she's tall, she's athletic and can wrestle, she has good charisma. It just goes to show WWE and specifically Vince don't give a shit about the divas division. The bella twins are beyond boring and stale to me there's nothing that sticks out about them like are they heels or babyfaces right now they have no character. Paige on the other hand is very sexy and can wrestle but I don't know if she's being a heel or face either. She's cutting dreadful promos saying another diva looks like a man like that's cheap heat come on. Push Summer Rae I think but I gave up on the divas years ago like who cares they just go in circles with them anyway.

They seriously killed it for her with Fandango. That whole thing with her and Layla never led to anything. They just made her look stupid that whole time.

Since then, she has had the composure and confidence.

The problem is, WWE is incapable of letting more than 1 woman's match per night, and it really kills it. In NXT they always have like 1 Champion vs #1 contender type, and then a tag team. That is the perfect formula.

That means, per show:
1-1 Twin, vs Naomi or Paige per night <-I have no personal attachment to this, it is not what I want

2-Summer and Fox vs Emma and Layla tag match per night <-This is what I want.

She should be "The Miz" of the divas' division.

Know I gotta see what all the hubbub is about her feud with Paige in NXT.
