Summer Rae on her relationship with Fandango and more

The College Times has an interview with WWE Diva Summer Rae, who discussed joining the second season of Total Divas. She noted that fans will see a lot more of her relationship with Fandango on the show.

Congratulations on being the newest cast member of “Total Divas.” How did you get used to the cameras being around you?

We’re used to it a lot from TV, anyway. I’m also down here at NXT in Orlando, our developmental system. We have our TV tapings every two, three weeks for NXT, as well. It was a little different being a reality show. I didn’t want to seem like I sounded fake ‘cause I knew the camera was on me. It took a while, then I just got used to it. Now those camera guys are pretty close to me. They’re my family now.

It’s been fun to watch you come up through the ranks. It’s been so fast.

I’ve been very fortunate. Being paired with Fandango is probably the best thing that could have happened to me because he’s so popular. He was amazing. When he first came on, fresh from his Wrestlemania victory over Chris Jericho, it was great to just feel the crowd Fandango-ing and the crowd cheering for him. As a new Diva, I wouldn’t get that response right away at all. I’m not trying to go anywhere. I love our pairing together.

Fandango’s appearances on “Total Divas” have been nice segues to having you on the show.

Yeah. He was on a lot doing a lot of scandalous things that I had to reprimand him for. [Laughs] I think that’s also something that’s interesting with season two of “Total Divas.” Fandango and I’s relationship has been on the surface level, as far as WWE programming with “Monday Night Raw,” “Main Event,” “Friday Night SmackDown.” You see us on camera and that’s about it. As far as backstage, not a lot of people know about our relationship. It’s great that people are going to see behind the scenes with Fandango and I, something that’s never been explored before.
