A Big Money Offer May Entice Raygun
After watching Raygun receive zero points at the Olympic Games, Dancing with the Stars Australia producers are reportedly eager to sign the breakdancer.
It is believed the show’s top bosses are willing to make the 37-year-old a big money offer to become a contestant on the 2025 series.
While she might want to avoid the lure of the spotlight, she might be tempted to capitalize on her newfound fame to grow a healthy bank balance.
If she does return, we might see Raygun parody or potentially perfect some of the moves from her viral performance at the 2024 Olympics, such as the slithering snake and the hopping kangaroo.
However, Dancing with the Stars Australia could be a drop in the ocean for Raygun, as she has been tipped to earn millions of dollars thanks to her recent fame.
For instance, she has been predicted to receive international deals with top brands, such as McDonald’s, adidas, KFC, BYD, Vodafone, Puma, and many more.
A Chance to Transform Her Image
Raygun has enjoyed much success throughout her breakdancing career. For instance, she represented Australia at the World Breaking Championships from 2021 to 2023. Also, she placed second in the Australian Open B-Girl Ranking in 2022 and reached first place in 2023.
However, her unique performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics led to international criticism and online bullying, which disappointed the university lecturer.
By becoming a contestant on Dancing with the Stars Australia, Raygun will have an opportunity to transform her image and prove she is a trained professional dancer in various styles.
The whole world will likely want to catch her performance and could prove the Olympics was a mere blip in a successful dancing career.
It only takes one great performance to go viral to transform her image and ensure she is no longer viewed as a laughingstock by her peers and audiences worldwide.
A source recently commented, “People extend their fifteen minutes on Dancing with the Stars, and when it comes to Raygun, producers would love to talk to her and see if she would be a good fit for the upcoming season. Dancing with the Stars loves being the show where people redeem themselves, and this could be the perfect avenue for Rachel.”
While producers are eager to lock Raygun in for the next series, the Olympic breakdancer has remained tight-lipped about the rumors.
However, it wouldn’t be surprising to see her busting a move on the famous dancefloor in 2025, but it is doubtful she will be wearing her iconic green tracksuit.
