The former Summer Rae has found a new gig.
BYB Extreme Bare Knuckle Fighting Series announced that Danielle Moinet, former WWE star Summer Rae, has signed with the league as an interviewer and social media correspondent. Moinet will host interactive multimedia segments and conduct in-event fighter interviews and features.
In addition to her work in WWE, Moinet has also worked as a runway model, ring announcer, and has history as a sports correspondent covering horse racing and wagering.
“BYB’s tremendous increase in popularity worldwide has confirmed the necessity to continuously connect with fight fans across the globe,” said BYB CEO Gregory Bloom. “Danielle’s on camera abilities, her experience in live sports, her global fanbase, and her ability to articulate the intricacies of nontraditional sports to a wide audience, is going to help us tell our story and showcase the personalities of our fighters both in and out of the Trigon.”
“Having seen the explosion in popularity of bare knuckle over the past year and its exponential growth possibilities, I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of what I feel will be one of the most popular, mainstream combat genres in the near future,” Danielle Moinet said. “That feeling was even more prevalent when I had the opportunity to meet the full BYB team this month at BYB 24 in Biloxi. The professionalism and experience that BYB boasts – behind the scenes, in the booth and in the Trigon – is on par with anything I’ve seen in sports over the past decade, and I’m honored to become a part of it.”
“I’m especially excited to provide another female voice and perspective to the fight game, and enthusiastic about working beside and learning from (BYB broadcaster) Claudia Trejos in that regard,” Moinet added. “I’m about equality and empowerment for everyone. BYB’s roster has stars from around the world, including some of the best women fighters in the sport, and I hope I can help tell their stories and take them to new levels.”
Moinet will be at BYB 25: Brawl on the Bay in Tampa on April 4 before making her respective appearances in Philadelphia during WrestleMania week.
