"It's really nice having my own name out there" - Renee Paquette on using her real name

Renee was a fixture of WWE TV for many years

Former WWE announcer Renee Paquette has talked about how much she prefers using her own name, as opposed to the name given to her during her WWE run.

During her eight-year-long stint with the company, Paquette was known as Renee Young. She would feature on WWE TV, initially as a part of the NXT roster, where she would conduct backstage interviews and would feature as part of the commentary team with the likes of Tom Phillips and Alex Riley. She continued her role on the main roster until her eventual release.

Since leaving the company in 2020, Paquette has been using her own name in her ventures outside of the wrestling business. She has gained a lot of fame for her podcasts. Renee also recently featured as an expert on the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards panel.

In a recent interview with Ryan Satin on his show Out of Character, Paquette talked about just how good it feels to use her own name. Though she said it was a weird change and that she was initially worried about the name change, Renee really likes working under her own name.

"It's really nice having my own name out there," Renee said.
