Dancing Queen to Diva?

EBWF has been making headlines lately with a massive roster cut through the holidays. One name, however, didn't appear on the list. That name being Summer Rae. Better known as Fandango's dancing cohort on EBWF television.
There is simply no ignoring this leggy blonde from New York. This former lingerie football star turned to wrestling when she originally signed with WWE in 2011. Summer Rae displayed lots of potential during her time in the WWE, mostly during her NXT days. She would later go on to become Fandango's dancing Queen, giving her a spot on WWE main television. That is, until EBWF got a hold of the dancing duo. Apparently landing a deal with them a short time after Wrestlemania.

Is it possible that this young dancing Queen avoided the same fate as that of top shelf names like Paige, Maryse, AJ Lee and Kaitlyn? It would appear that Summer danced her way to the main roster. Rae is currently being advertised on EBWF.com for a debut match on Warfare against Michelle McCool. Another talent recently signed with EBWF after such a drastic roster cut.

Many fans are left to wonder how Summer Rae managed to stay with the company, despite not ever having an official match since her debut this past May. More importantly, fans would like to know why the company would cut established women wrestlers, for less experienced female competitors such as Summer Rae or Eva Maria.
So what's in store for the top wrestling promotion's Divas division? It's anyones guess really. EBWF shows no signs of explaining such a huge loss of talent. Instead, we are seeing several fresh faces pop up on EBWF television to fill in the gaps. Only time will tell how all this change plays out for the division as a whole.
