For those wondering why Miss USA Rima Fakih was not at Raw this past Monday night for the Tough Enough finale, it is because she was at the 2011 Miss USA Welcoming Ceremony in Las Vegas
She wrote on her Twitter page:
I want to apologize for not being present at @WWEToughEnough finally I have 12days as #MissUSA & could not make it:(
In an interview with LasVegasWeekly.com, she made mention of her non-appearance by saying:
“I’ve had a phenomenal year. I’m actually missing the finale tonight…. for the WWE wrestling show Tough Enough that Vince McMahon booked me for. I have managed to sign some autographs, though, already in Vegas for WWE fans who turned out to welcome me.”
Rima also talks about her first movie role, a part in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming sci-fi action film Real Steel (which also stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton) in the interview, saying it was the “biggest thrill” and that she “had a fantastic time filming, and I know this will become a major part of my future career now that the title gets handed over to a new winner.”
