Renee Paquette turned down deal to return to WWE - Reports
It appears that WWE made a play to bring Renee Paquette back to the company.
Since Triple H took over as the head of creative, there has been an effort to bring back multiple talents that the company has released in the last few years. Including some that chose to leave on their own.
According to a recent report by Dave Meltzer via Sports Illustrated, the company offered Renee Paquette a deal to return to the company, but she turned it down. Meltzer states it was before the announcement of the commentary shakeups across WWE:
"WWE had contacted her to return as it shook up its announcing teams this past week for the new television season, which started Friday night. When she turned down the offer, those in WWE had noted that they believed she was headed to AEW," Dave Meltzer wrote. "Since she left WWE, there had always been some talk of her in AEW as part of the announcing team in some form, mostly because of Moxley. She was generally considered the strongest backstage interviewer in wrestling for years."
