AEW Dynamite: Popular ex-WWE figure Renee Young makes All Elite Wrestling debut

After
Triple
H
took
over
the
WWE
creative
in
late
July,
a
number
of
former
WWE
Superstars
and
personalities
returned
to
the
company
and
Renee
Young
was
also
rumoured
to
make
a
comeback
to
her
home.

However,
during
last
night’s
episode
of
AEW
Dynamite,
Renee
Young
ended
up
making
her
All
Elite
Wrestling
debut.
In
the
opening
segment,
she
started
her
AEW
career
by
interviewing
Christian
Cage
after
getting
a
round
of
applause
from
the
audience
in
attendance.

off
things
in
Toronto
than

The
latest
episode
of
Dynamite
marked
AEW’s
debut
in
Toronto,
Ontario,
Canada
which
is
also
Renee’s
hometown.
Just
before
her
appearance
on
the
TV
show,
it
was
informed
by
AEW
President
Tony
Khan
that
the
former
WWE
personality
has
officially
signed
up
with
his
company.
She
was
also
promoted
with
the
infamous
All
Elite
graphic.

The
latest
appearance
comes
after
Wrestling
Observer
reported
just
a
couple
of
days
ago
that
WWE
recently
contacted
Renee
about
returning
as
a
Commentator.
WWE
Officials
reached
out
to
her
before
they
shook
things
up
for
their
commentary
team,
last
week
but
she
turned
down
the
offer.

Now,
under
her
real
name
of
Renee
Paquette,
she
joins
her
husband,
three-time
and
current
AEW
World
Champion
Jon
Moxley
in
AEW.
The
pair
got
married
in
April
2017
and
they
also
welcomed
their
first
child
last
summer.
One
of
the
best
friends
of
Renee,
Saraya
fka
Paige
in
WWE
is
also
signed
with
the
AEW
for
three
more
years.

Renee’s
overall
role
in
AEW
is
yet
to
be
officially
announced
but
it’s
likely
that
she
will
act
as
a
backstage
interviewer.
Currently,
the
interview
segments
in
AEW
are
handled
by
a
variety
of
individuals,
including
Tony
Schiavone,
Dasha
Fuentes,
Alex
Marvez,
Lexy
Nair,
and
Mark
Henry.

Apart
from
joining
AEW,
Renee
has
also
landed
a
role
with
the
NFL
team
The
Cincinnati
Bengals,
where
she
will
be
hosting
her
own
series
called
“Renée
All
Dey”.

During
her
eight-year-long
tenure
in
WWE,
Renee
Young
mostly
served
as
an
interviewer
as
well
as
the
pay-per-view
kick-off
panel
host.
In
addition,
she
gained
mainstream
attention
by
featuring
in
WWE’s
reality
TV
series,
Total
Divas.

The
Toronto-native
also
played
a
major
role
on
WWE
Backstage
on
FOX
before
which
WWE
gave
her
the
honor
of
becoming
the
first-ever
full-time
female
commentator
for
Monday
Night
Raw.
The
cancelation
of
Backstage
on
FOX
was
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
she
opted
to
leave
the
WWE.

Since
then,
the
popular
wrestling
personality
launched
a
podcast,
Oral
Sessions
with
Renee
Paquette
(now
called
The
Sessions
with
Renee
Paquette).
Last
year,
she
also
released
her
first
cookbook,
“Messy
In
The
Kitchen:
My
Guide
to
Eating
Deliciously,
Hosting
Fabulously
and
Sipping
Copiously.”
