10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (March 29)
8. Dana Brooke Thought Working With Ronda Was A Rib
One has to feel a bit sorry for Dana Brooke after hearing her interview with Lilian Garcia on the ex-ring announcer's 'Chasing Glory' podcast. At several points in the chat, Brooke's passion for wrestling came across, and so did her frustration. It doesn't sit well with Dana that she's barely used on TV.
At least she got to work with Ronda Rousey, which is something Brooke thought would never happen.
WWE's lack of direction for (and attention paid to) Dana caused her to laugh off suggestions she'd be confronting Ronda on the 7 March episode of Raw. When Dana Warrior told her about the segment that day, she didn't believe it, and Brooke later thought Byron Saxton was ribbing her when he congratulated her on the big moment.
It wasn't until a few minutes before she went through the curtain that Dana believed what was happening. She'd been overlooked for so long that it didn't seem likely WWE would let her share some on screen minutes with Rousey during WrestleMania season.
