History Wrestling / SummerRae

'''Danielle Moinet''' (born 28 November 1983) is an American professional wrestler. She is signed to Wrestling/{{WWE}}, where she performs on the main roster, and in its developmental territory [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]], under the ring name '''Summer Rae'''. She is a former football player in the Lingerie Bowl League. As of 2014 she was added to season 2 of the reality show ''Series/TotalDivas''.

** Currently, Summer's big rival on the main roster is her ''Series/TotalDivas'' co-star [[Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart Natalya]], [[{{Kayfabe}} clashing in their time on the show together]] and that transferring onto WWE programs. Though they never wrestled ''each other'', Summer is none too fond of Wrestling/{{Fandango}} anymore, either.

* RoguesGallery: Two of her greatest rivals and certainly her most memorable foes on [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]] were Wrestling/{{Paige}} and Wrestling/{{Emma}}, with Summer's antagonism with the latter clearly carrying over to the main roster, particularly when Emma first debuted. Summer feuded with Wrestling/{{Layla}} for awhile because she was heartbroken by Wrestling/{{Fandango}}, who took Layla up as his new dance partner and manager while also making her his girlfriend, but the two Divas ultimately patched things up and became friends and tag partners. Summer's latest enemy is [[Wrestling/NatalyaNeidhart Natalya]] (and due to the Slayers' matches against Nattie and then-tag partner [[Characters/WWEDivas Rosa Mendes]], Rosa might also count), with their problems with each other stemming from serious tension on ''Series/TotalDivas''.

* BlondesAreEvil: The blonde Summer usually plays the {{heel}}.

* WomanScorned: Fandango dumped her in a really nasty way (by a fucking ''text''). Summer didn't take it well. Eventually this happened to Layla, too, so both of them formed an alliance, which ended in 2015 when Layla retired.

* PerkyFemaleMinion: Was this Fandango, and is currently the valet of [[Wrestling/RusevAndLana Rusev]].

* {{Tsundere}}: Summer is a violent and aggressive screamer who will pound the crap out of her opponents, but also smiled sweetly whenever she was with Fandango and referred to him as "my baby boopies"; then her sweetness [[LesYay comes through]] her friendship with Wrestling/{{Layla}} (until her retirement from the ring). Now, Summer shares her sweetness with Rusev.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Certainly when Fandango gets any sort of attention.

* PerkyFemaleMinion: To Fandango.

* WomanScorned: Fandango dumped her in a really nasty way (by a fucking ''text''). Summer didn't take it well. Eventually this happened to Layla, too, so both of them formed an alliance.

* {{Yandere}}: To Fandango.

* CompositeCharacter: Has been described as Wrestling/KellyKelly meets Wrestling/{{Maryse}}, with a bit of [[Characters/WWEDivas Michelle McCool]] thrown in there, too. The last one becomes HilariousInHindsight when Summer feuded and then teamed with [=McCool's=] old tag partner, [[Wrestling/{{Layla}} Layla El]].

* PowerStable [=/=] PowerTrio: The longest-lasting and best-known incarnation of the [=BFF=]s, Summer's stable in NXT, which included Summer (obviously), Wrestling/SashaBanks, and [[Characters/{{WWENXT}} Charlotte]].

** With Wrestling/SashaBanks as the [=BFF=]s in NXT, before [[Characters/{{WWENXT}} Charlotte]] joined them to turn it into a PowerStable.

* VillainDecay
* As noted under {{Chickification}} there was a time when Summer had an undefeated streak on NXT. Presumably WWE noted that she had a much better affinity for being a ditz than a badass - hence her character switch to a bimbo that only got fluke wins.
** The Beautiful Fierce Females suffered from this as well. While they got a good amount of momentum when they formed, Charlotte had to be taken off TV to get a boob job, Paige and Emma's feud took centre stage, Bayley rose in popularity and Summer's main roster career took off - meaning that the [=BFFs=] never got much of a chance to dominate as top heels.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: Once stole Paige's signature scream during her match to mock her. When they were on a team together at ''Survivor Series 2014'', Summer mimicked her again -- attacking her opponent, Natalya, with a number of knees to Natalya's gut while they were on the apron, and once again doing Paige's scream -- but it backfired when Natalya attacked Summer while she was caught up in the act.

* ScreamingWoman [=/=] BattleCry

* {{Chickification}}: On NXT, she's one of the top heel wrestlers in the women's division; on ''Raw'', she is relegated to being Wrestling/{{Fandango}}'s dance partner. Averted as of ''Hell In A Cell'' 2013 when she competed in her first match on the main roster. And she's gotten a few matches since then. Still, Summer's entire promotion to the main roster is arguably this trope. On NXT she was a legit threat who rarely lost. On the main roster, she's presented as a bimbo who frequently loses and can only get fluke wins.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Tends to wear a lot of gold or some form of it on her ring gear. With a name like '''Summer Rae''', maybe she's going for some kind of sunshine theme.
* CompositeCharacter: Has been described as Wrestling/KellyKelly meets Wrestling/{{Maryse}}, with a bit of [[Characters/WWEDivas Michelle McCool]] thrown in there, too. The last one becomes HilariousInHindsight when Summer feuded with and then teamed with [=McCool's=] old tag partner, [[Wrestling/{{Layla}} Layla El]].

* ShesGotLegs: One of the biggest things WWE draws attention to to emphasize her attractiveness. Additionally, many of her [[FinishingMove finishers]] and {{signature move}}s involve Summer does kicks, leg drops, foot chokes, holds involving use of her legs, etc.

** Either Wrestling/{{Paige}} and Wrestling/{{Emma}} on [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT]].

* BorrowedCatchphrase: Once stole Paige's signature scream during her match to mock her. When they were on a team together at ''Survivor Series 2014'' Summer mimicked her again -- attacking her opponent, Natalya, with a number of knees to Natalya's gut while they were on the apron, and once again doing Paige's scream -- but it backfired when Natalya attacked Summer while she was caught up in the act.

* AlphaBitch: On NXT. Her nickname - First Lady of NXT - is essentially the trope name rephrased.
* ArchEnemy: On NXT, it was Wrestling/{{Paige}} and Wrestling/{{Emma}}. On the main roster, it's now Wrestling/{{Fandango}}.
* AscendedExtra: On NXT she was the ring announcer... until she attacked Paige from behind.
* BareYourMidriff
* BigEater: Per the JBL and Cole Show and Backstage Fallout.

* BlondesAreEvil
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Once stole Paige's signature scream during her match to mock her.

* CompositeCharacter: Has been described as Kelly Kelly meets Maryse. With a bit of Michelle [=McCool=] thrown in there too.
** The last one becomes HilariousInHindsight when she first ended up feuding with and then teaming with [=McCool's=] old tag partner Layla El.

* DanceBattler: On the main roster anyway.
* TheDogBitesBack: After getting dicked over by Fandango repeatedly, she and Layla turned on him and teamed up.
* EnemyMine: After fighting over Fandango, she and Layla have apparently decided to team up and generally ruin his day.
* EyeScream: Threw bubble solution in Emma's eyes once.
* FunWithAcronyms: She and Wrestling/SashaBanks are '''[=BFFs=]''' - Beautiful Fierce Females.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Called Layla a "catty little twat" on Main Event, which was redubbed as "catty little cat" on when replayed on Raw.
* GirlyBruiser: Former player in the Lingerie Bowl League. As in, she played ''full contact football'' while wearing lingerie.
* HairFlip
* InformedAbility: Let's just say it's fairly obvious she has no dancing experience.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: On the main roster she has ballroom dance-themed wrestling gear.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Chris Jericho seemingly flirted with her... only to face-palm her and walk away.

* {{Red Baron}}ess: "The First Lady of NXT"
* ScreamingWoman/ BattleCry
* ShesGotLegs
* SpiritualSuccessor: Despite what fans say (see CompositeCharacter) she's more likely one to {{Wrestling/Melina}}. She does the splits as a valet for a CampStraight, is known for screaming a lot and has even adopted a few of Melina's notable moves like the Lotus submission hold and the Sunset Split.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: It's to be expected since she has a Ballroom Dance gimmick. An episode of ''Series/TotalDivas'' shows her really trying to push the limits of how far she can go with this trope.

* {{Tsundere}}: Is a violent and aggressive screamer who will pound the crap out of her opponents. But also smiles sweetly whenever she's with Fandango and refers to him as "my baby boopies".
* WildCard: Ever since she returned from filming ''The Marine 4''. She's teamed with both heels and faces. And although her and Layla tormenting Fandango is a little petty, they're helping faces beat him in matches.
* WomanScorned: Fandango dumped her in a really nasty way (by a fucking ''text''). Summer has not taken it well. Eventually this happened to Layla too - so both of them formed an alliance.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: A variation. She seemingly injured her ankle on ''Raw''. While Chris Jericho was checking if she was alright, Fandango attacked him from behind and Summer revealed it had all been a ruse.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Once referred to Fandango as "my baby boopies" implying a romantic pairing. This side of her really comes out in mixed tag matches.
* {{Yandere}}: To Fandango.

* ArchEnemy: On NXT, it was Paige and Emma. On the main roster, it's now Fandango.

* BigEater: Per the JBL and Cole Show and Backstage Fallout

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Tends to wear a lot of gold or some form of it on her ring gear.

* {{Catfight}}: With Natalya.
** Now with Layla.
