Reports broke on Wednesday morning that WWE on-screen personality Renee Young had turned in her notice to the company last week and will be leaving in the near future. In the nearly eight years Young spent with the company she’s worked as a backstage interviewer, kickoff show host, color commentator (the first woman to ever be a full-time member of Monday Night Raw‘s commentary team) and host of weekly shows like Talking Smack and WWE Backstage. Throughout that time Young had becomed one of the most well-liked personalities in all of WWE, and while many believe she will thrivein whatever role she takes next many fans were sad to hear she was leaving.

A Massive Loss
Renee Young leaving WWE is a bigger loss to the company than they probably even realise. Ridiculously talented.

An Underrated Duo
One of the underrated broadcast partnerships in WWE was @ReneeYoungWWE & Mean Gene. They were such a great double act on WWE Vintage Collection. pic.twitter.com/GIK2vpYGeI

Talking Smack Memories
My most enduring memory of Renee Young in WWE will be her time hosting Talking Smack.

She really injected that show with huge amounts of personality and helped make it super fun to watch. Her and Bryan had natural on screen chemistry. pic.twitter.com/58z6XFsVV7
A One-Two Punch

Her Next Step
Renee Young is extremely talented and can literally do any and everything she puts her mind to. Cannot wait to see what’s up next (and also especially that cookbook)!

Renee Young is a tremendous broadcaster who, like many in that company, was often underutilized by WWE. She was a great asset who could have been a bigger one, unquestionably.

She will land on her feet. Any network would benefit from having her.
.@ReneeYoungWWE is very legitimately one of the most natural on-air hosts and interviewers pro wrestling has ever seen. Obvious #AEW rumors will swirl, but her value is so much higher than wrestling. She can be a top anchor with any national network. She’s that good. #WWE https://t.co/gZYdiCU53H

Fire Up the Rumors…
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
