Renee Young Leaving WWE After Giving Her Notice Last Week

Renee Young is leaving WWE.

That stunning bit of news was announced via PWInsider on Wednesday. The site verified the news with several sources, so indeed Young is on her way out.

PW Insider says it has confirmed the report with several sources.

What a big loss to WWE – Renee is tremendous.

The move is at the same time both stunning and not.

I say it’s stunning because Renee Young was, in my opinion, a great addition to any WWE broadcast. She served a number of roles throughout her career.

It’s not stunning for a few reasons. She took a lot of flak over her promotion to the announce team (even though many supported her). 

Also, there’s this item where her husband left WWE for AEW not all that long ago. Now, that doesn’t imply that she is leaving because of him and AEW…but it may have factored into it.

Fans took to Twitter to sound off on the news

Sad to hear Renee Young is leaving WWE soon. I’ve always enjoyed everything she did as an interviewer and commentator and also enjoyed her work with the company. Whatever it is she’ll be doing in the future, I know that she’ll do good at it

Renee Young going to AEW then? #WWE #AEW

It will be worth watching to see what Renee Young does next. She has obvious talent, so the possibilities are wide open.

She may opt to leave wrestling and work on entertainment or some other avenue. Of course, if she doesn’t leave wrestling, she has an in with AEW.

We wish her the best with whatever her future holds.

AEW Bound?

If Renee Young were to ever work with AEW one day, I would like to see her pull a Sandy in Grease and show up with a bad ass transformation as Mox’s manager. pic.twitter.com/nOHCbQ913a

I hope the rumour of Renee Young leaving WWE isn’t true, but if she does leave I hope she gets a huge job at ESPN or something and doesn’t just go to AEW. I think she could be doing great things in sports broadcasting beyond the rather niche market of just wrestling.

Renee Young wasn’t booked properly by WWE, she deserves better and AEW will give her that.

A future women’s Champion for sure.

Here’s why Renee Young was booked poorly in WWE.

She was signed at 2015 & she didn’t wrestle a single match yet.

If she goes to AEW they’ll make her champion in a heartbeat. #FreeReneeYoung #ImWithAEW
