7. Zeb Colter Told Summer Rae Never To Ignore Fans
Summer Rae has been dividing opinion as part of the ongoing saga also involving Lana, Rusev and Dolph Ziggler. Installed as Rusev's new love interest post-Lana, Summer has also played a number of different roles on television previously. Most notably, Rae was the best-remembered dance partner for Fandango, but hasn't really featured much outside of her valet duties. Hired by WWE in November, 2011, Summer Rae was immediately posed to then-development territory Florida Championship Wrestling. That league would eventually be folded and morphed into NXT, but Rae only starred briefly on the program before being called up to the main roster. During her time in developmental, she was given one key piece of advice by a wrestling veteran. Then working as Zeb Colter, the artist best-known as Dutch Mantel offered a key piece of advice to the WWE Diva. Discussing how modern-day pro wrestlers are more open to fans than ever before, Mantel said Summer Rae should always embrace the fan base. Crucially, he said she should ever turn down an autograph request, because such fame is fleeting.
