Danielle Moinet, formerly known to WWE fans as Summer Rae, recently spoke with talkSPORT<\/a> for an in-depth interview.<\/p>\n

During the discussion, the women\u2019s wrestling star admitted she gets the itch to return to WWE all of the time. She also spoke about her joining the Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) promotion as an interviewer.<\/p>\n

Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where she touches on these topics with her thoughts. Also below is a complete video archive of the discussion.<\/p>\n

On being on the same helicopter with Fandango and The Shield on an April 2013 episode of WWE Raw: \u201cSo Fandango and I were very successful over here in England. I don\u2019t know if it was the dress, the outfit, the look, the music, the fans would just sing it when we came over here, but it was pretty crazy. There was one point where we had a live event in Cardiff, and we were doing Monday Night Raw at the O2, and WWE put us in a helicopter with The Shield, and The Shield got out of the helicopter, then me and Fandango got out of the helicopter, and it really was top tier times for us back then. I remember my debut was at the O2 Center- the O2 Arena with Chris Jericho, and I debut with Fandango. Jericho pulled me away and the O2 just went absolutely nuts.\u201d<\/p>\n

On how she gets the itch to return to WWE all the time: \u201cOh my gosh. So I was with WWE for six years, which is a good solid run, and I\u2019ve been gone a little bit, went back three years ago for the Royal Rumble. They did not have an all women\u2019s Royal Rumble when I was growing up and it was my dream. It was everything I wanted to do. We were on the road, gosh, a good 300 days a year. It\u2019s completely nonstop, but when it\u2019s what you\u2019ve wanted to do, it doesn\u2019t feel like work. I\u2019m still very good friends with a lot of the girls and a lot of the guys in WWE and I still watch it avidly. I\u2019m such a big fan, and it\u2019s just a part of me. It always will be. I get the itch to go back all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

On how she feels Tyson Fury could crossover into Bare Knuckle Boxing, where she is currently an interviewer: \u201cWe get a lot of, UFC guys. We get a lot of MMA guys that are sick of going to the floor, that just want to stand and box. We get a lot of boxers that come to Bare Knuckle and BKB specifically because they say, I\u2019m just sick of it being political. I just want to fight, and what\u2019s fair, and I think the thing that I love about BKB is our matchmaker Mel, our bosses, our CEO, COO, that they do try to take the politics out of it, and they do see, what are the fair matchups? Who\u2019s earned it? Who has knocked off a certain amount of people? That\u2019s what I\u2019m hearing from a lot of boxers that do come over to Bare Knuckle and come over to us, and then also the crowds. They love the crowds. They love the Trigon. It\u2019s so different. So, yeah, like, why not? I could see some of those guys coming over, whether they do well or not. I\u2019m not sure. I worked for Tyson Fury once, three years ago in Cardiff at a wrestling convention and he was absolutely lovely. His wife, Paris, his kids were running around and he was captivating. Like he definitely is a character and when you turn on the screen, he commands attention just from being himself. Like he\u2019s not acting. They say in wrestling with WWE, some of the most successful characters are you not acting as an extension of yourself, and you see that with him and some of the other guys that are very big names with Conor. So why not? Let\u2019s see.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
