WWE used to possess an asset in Renee Young in their programming in terms of broadcast. Over the years, this face has become a familiar and extremely popular one which led them to include her to be on the Raw commentary booth as a permanent member. Now that face is no longer available since last year’s summer.
Once the FOX show on FS1 named WWE Backstage was canceled due to the COVID-19 crisis, Renee Young decided not to renew her contract with the company. Thereby, she opted to end the association with WWE that lasted for almost eight years. To be precise, Summerslam 2020 marked her last WWE TV appearance although by then, her departure from the company was already announced.
But WWE assured that Renee Young couldn’t jump ship to any other rival brand following that exit by attaching a lengthy no-compete attached to her. Previously, she mentioned the same in interviews. Now the Canadian journalist appeared on The Wrestling Inc. Daily podcast to reveal that the no-compete clause is over meaning she’s free to join any other wrestling promotion if she wants to.
“I think I’m free and clear,” The star having real-name, Renee Paquette revealed. “I can be at Bloodsport. I’m gonna be at Bloodsport. Everyone better buckle up and hold on to their asses. I’ll fight anyone, except for Miesha. I won’t fight Miesha.”

Renee Young commented on joining AEW
As reported a few days earlier, Renee Young is launching a new podcast with UFC Fighter Miesha Tate while she is also busy doing her own Oral Sessions Podcast. Not to mention, she is also involved in her cookbook projects for quite a while. Alongside these, rumors are always there of her possibly joining the AEW promotion given that her husband Jon Moxley is a mainstay name, there.
“I’m definitely open to the idea,” Renee Young responded to the speculations of her joining AEW. “I miss pro wrestling, I miss being involved in the pro wrestling world, in that capacity, but I don’t know what that job would be or what my role could be within AEW. We could probably rattle off a couple different ideas of things to do, and as AEW is growing, as their broadcasts are growing, as they’re adding on new shows, I think there’s definitely a role.”
While Renee Young intends to keep her connection intact with the wrestling fraternity, she’s been interested in projects which “bridge the gap” between wrestling and her other creative interests. It obviously includes television opportunities to Messy In The Kitchen: My Guide to Eating Deliciously, Hosting Fabulously, and Sipping Copiously, her cookbook published in May. Even if she joins AEW someday, she is not interested in doing commentaries, anymore.
