Renee Young On Wanting To Leave WWE 3 Years Ago, How The Company Convinced Her To Stay

Renee Paquette had a near 8 year run working as Renee Young for WWE, but earlier this year her run came to an end when she parted ways with the company following the SummerSlam pay-per-view.

Since then it’s been revealed that Renee is pregnant, and she’s also launched her own podcast. The former WWE broadcaster has been openly talking about her journey with the company on other podcasts as well and she recently appeared on Getting Over.

During her appearance on the show Renee revealed that she actually tried to leave WWE three years ago, but the company told her they had big plans for her, so she stayed.

“I had actually tried to leave WWE maybe three years prior to that. So, it wasn’t the first time that I had had this conversation. Going back to the time I tried to leave, before going back to carrots being dangled, like, “No! We want you to stay, we have got these big plans for you. We’ve got this coming up, and this coming up, and all these great things. So, I was like, “Alright, s**t! Alright, let’s do this.”

Ultimately Renee went on to join the commentary team, and host her own show on FS1 with WWE Backstage. It’s not exactly clear what Renee will be doing next as she has a lengthy non-compete clause, but it will be interesting to see where she ends up once it expires.
