5 Facts About Fandango You May Not Know

#4. Fandango rated his various dance partners in an interview

Fandango with Summer Rae

One of the most essential components of Fandago's entrance was that he was joined by a female dance partner. While it is a common trope in WWE for ego-centric heels to be accompanied by female valets, Fandango and co. managed to make their act different and unique, as Fandango knew how to dance.

Even if you hated Fandango's character, you couldn't help but appreciate the skills. Fandango and his female companions would often begin with an intense and sexual dance routine before making their way to the ring.

Often times they would attempt to assist Fandango during his matches by causing distractions. But sometimes they would end up costing him the win.

During his time in WWE, Fandago had multiple women escort him to the ring. Including WWE Superstars Summer Rae, Layla, and Rosa Mendes. Fandango's first partner was a woman named Andrea Lynn, who was a college student and professional dancer at the time.

With Fandango having an array of female partners, many WWE fans began to wonder who were his favorite(s) and/or least favorite(s).

That question would finally be answered - kind of - by Fandango, thanks to popular website Uproxx.com. When the site caught up with Fandango in 2018 during WrestleMania weekend, he was asked a series of questions. Of course, one in particular gained tremendous traction online. The question being: "Who was your favorite dance partner?".

Uproxx.com tried to get Fandango to "rank" them from best to worst, however Fandango refused to do it. Instead, Fandango agreed to rate all four of them out of ten:

'Alright, I’ll rank them 1-10, starting with Andrea. Andrea was a nine. Summer was a two. Layla was a seven. And Rosa is Rosa' - Fandango

As noted before, Andrea was a professional dancer who accompanied Fandango during the early stages of his main roster run. While Fandango was clearly not the biggest fan of Summer Rae's dancing skills. Summer Rae was arguably the most well known and fan favorite of all of Fandango's dance partners. With Rosa Mendes being his last.

Summer Rae's popularity would grow beyond her time with Fandango, as she would eventually split from Fandago and begin her own solo act. Leading her into a romantic rectangle storyline between: Rusev, Lana, and Dolph Ziggler - but that's a story for a different day.
