"Don’t matter, WWE has Bray Wyatt" - Wrestling fans go berserk after rumors of former RAW commentator's imminent AEW debut
Former WWE RAW commentator Renee Paquette's rumored debut in AEW has sent wrestling fans on Twitter into a frenzy.
Paquette, known as Renee Young during her time with WWE, played several backstage roles in the company. She started as a backstage announcer but eventually moved on to become a RAW commentator and host of WWE Backstage on FS1.
A recent report from Dave Meltzer claimed WWE contacted Paquette amidst a slew of returns orchestrated by Triple H. However, she apparently turned down the offer.
The report also states that those within WWE believe Renee Paquette to be heading to AEW soon. This would make sense, considering her husband, Jon Moxley, is a part of the promotion and has inked a long-term deal with All Elite Wrestling. Moreover, her prowess on the mic can prove to be an asset to the company.
These reports come hot on the heels of Bray Wyatt returning to WWE. Reacting to Paquette's potential move to All Elite Wrestling, some fans were of the opinion that it won't make a difference since Wyatt has moved back to his previous stomping grounds. The potential move has also garnered some other intense reactions from fans.
You can check out some of the reactions below:
@WrestlePurists Don’t matter, WWE has Bray Wyatt again. All the AEW fanboys are crying right now
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect Why would WWE even bother to bring her back?? Even Byron Saxton is better backstage interviewer than her.
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect But but….I thought AEW was dramatic and going under soon? Too funny
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect Well that's great for AEW but won't actually affect WWE considering they just brought Kelly back.
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect File this one under MEH
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect What value does she add to wwe 🤷
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect Ok and?
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect Let her go. WWE don't need her.
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect Boring
@WrestlePurists @FightfulSelect Who cares she’s not that great anyways.
It remains to be seen if the rumors will turn out to be true in the near future.
