A late-night surprise left Summer Rae and Tenille Dashwood scrambling for safety
Summary
– Summer Rae shared a wild hotel story involving a bat during a trip to Texas
– She and Tenille Dashwood were left panicked as the creature flew around their room
– The experience left Rae avoiding that hotel chain for years
Anyone who has traveled extensively knows the road can bring its fair share of bizarre experiences, and for former WWE star Summer Rae, one particular hotel stay became unforgettable. Appearing on Dr. Beau Hightower’s YouTube channel, Rae recounted a terrifying night in Texas alongside traveling partner Tenille Dashwood.
An unexpected noise caught their attention as they settled in for the night. “We’re almost asleep, me and Tenille, and we hear something,” Rae recalled. “And I’m like, ‘Did you hear something?’ And she’s like, ‘What is that?'” Moments later, they discovered the cause—a bat flying erratically inside their hotel room.
Turning on the lights only worsened things as the distressed creature darted wildly. Rae and Dashwood called the front desk for help, but the late-night staff wasn’t in top form. “All I remember is someone got a broom,” Rae said. “Someone came in, I’m under the sheet. We were trying to trap it. It was just a mess and now I’m just traumatized.”
Though Rae doesn’t remember which hotel chain it was, the experience left a lasting impact, causing her to avoid that company for years.
Rae, who competed in WWE from 2011 to 2017 and briefly returned in 2022 at the Royal Rumble, remains a well-remembered figure from her time in WWE NXT, Total Divas, and her storylines with Fandango and Rusev.
