Since being drafted to WWE Raw in July, Summer Rae hasn't made an appearance on WWE programming, and she hasn't wrestled at all since August. There was no official explanation from WWE over why Summer Rae wasn't a part of any show, which led fans to contact Raw GM Mick Foley publicly lobby for her.

In a lengthy Instagram post over the weekend, Summer Rae addressed her absence and revealed that she's been very carefully recovering from an injury that she initially chose to hide from fans.
