Renee Young has been a mainstay on WWE programming for years now, but after the SummerSlam pay-per-view last month she officially parted ways with the company.
Now everyone is waiting to see what Renee Young will do next, but it doesn’t sound like she’ll be resurfacing anytime soon, as she has a lengthy non-compete clause.
Renee recently spoke with Richard Deitsch on his Sports Media podcast, and she noted that her non-compete clause is in the range of one year.
“I’ve accumulated a mass of wrestling knowledge over the last eight years that it would be kind of dumb to just throw that away. It seems like doing that would be kind of a waste of the last almost ten years. I don’t even know if I’m legally allowed to say how long my non-compete clause is, but it’s in and around [1 year]. I don’t know – I’m just a girl that likes to talk about wrestling. I’m not into the legal jargon.”
While talking about a possible move to All Elite Wrestling in the future, the former WWE broadcaster made it clear that she’s not interested in joining the commentary team.
“I think if that was something that ever were to come up [working with AEW], I don’t think that putting me on commentary is the right move. Even when I started doing commentary, I was stoked to do that but it was never a goal of mine. My dreams are not dashed by not being on commentary. I tried to pitch to the head writers of SmackDown to use me like UFC uses Megan Olivi, and she feels like an important part of the broadcast. I think that roaming reporter type of role would be awesome with any wrestling company.”
