JBL is a WWE Hall of Famer, a former WWE Champion and he’s spent a number of years throughout his career working as a commentator on SmackDown. However, JBL will no longer be a part of the SmackDown Live commentary team going forward, as he recently announced that he’s stepping down to focus on other projects.
It remains to be seen who might end up taking JBL’s spot on the commentary team, but there are quite a few fans out there who would like to see Renee Young step up and grab the infamous brass ring.
Looking at her resume, Renee Young seems like a pretty solid candidate, but she doesn’t sound all that confident that she would be the right fit for the job.
When talk of Renee possibly joining the commentary team reached Renee herself, she downplayed her commentary skills.
Sad @JCLayfield is leaving #SDLive announcers desk. He brought a veteran’s authority. Time for @ReneeYoungWWE to make a little history…? pic.twitter.com/TpqflLbP01

While I truly appreciate all of the support on this,I would just like to remind everyone that I was never very good at commentary for NXT 😳😂 https://t.co/aQpysHDx6o

WWE has given no indication that Renee will end up joining commentary team as of this writing, and no one would blame her for not wanting to take the job, as she certainly has more than enough work to keep her busy right now.
Still, there’s no denying she could potentially bring a fresh voice to the SmackDown Live commentary team.
