Update on Renee Young’s WWE exit, talk about her going to AEW

Renee Young is set to finish up with WWE this weekend. Dave Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that she gave notice last week.

As previously noted, WWE was not happy about her going public with her COVID-19 diagnosis. Meltzer added that it was several days after her diagnosis that a company official talked to her when she had the virus.

Young will likely draw interest from several places, including All Elite Wrestling. That is not only because her husband Jon Moxley works there. Everyone recognizes that she is a fantastic interviewer/broadcaster and performed above and beyond what she was expected to in WWE’s heavily-scripted and micro-managed environment.

Meltzer noted in the Observer that one person to the situation said it would be inevitable that Young would host something or do something for AEW but there is no deal at this time. If she does something with AEW, it probably won’t be soon because her WWE announcing deal has a serious non-compete clause.

In addition to announcing, she’s been working on a cookbook and she’s interested in sports, talk shows, comedy shows or podcast shows among many things. She has also done minor acting roles in the past.
