Former WWE Superstar Summer Rae was one of the highlights for the company’s women’s division back in the 2010s. She would eventually get released in 2017 and many fans thought she left the world of professional wrestling for good.
It was announced on this week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown that Summer Rae will be making her return to the WWE as she will be participating in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. Summer Rae then took to her Instagram story, where she revealed that her Royal Rumble appearance was not supposed to be revealed beforehand.
Okay, so obviously I can’t sleep. I’ve been on Twitter and I am so overwhelmed by the amazing response on Twitter by you guys. Oh my gosh, like, we weren’t even supposed to announce that I was going to be in the Rumble, it was going to be a surprise and then, I found out a couple of hours ago. So I was really nervous to look on Twitter, because people are mean, like, people just be mean on Twitter and the response — everyone was so nice. You guys have me in my feels.
Everyone’s so hyped. I don’t know, I’ve just been gone so long that I didn’t know what the response would be like, I didn’t know if it’d be positive or negative and it’s just so good. Thank you so much. All my friends are being so supportive and just the fans like, WrestleTwitter’s just insane, and I’m just so excited, and now I’m happy that I don’t have to keep this a surprise until the end of the month.”
