WWE believes one of their targets could be headed to AEW
Added 2022-10-08 17:35:20 +0000 UTCA WWE target could be heading to AEW, if they've heard correctly.
Fightful was told by WWE sources on Friday night that they believe Renee Paquette is headed to All Elite Wrestling. Give Me Sport's Louis Dangoor has heard that WWE reached out to Renee about coming back to the company, which we've yet to confirm.
Fightful reached out to Renee and AEW, who have not confirmed the move at all.
Paquette (Renee Young in WWE) spent nearly eight years (October 2012 to August 2020) in WWE, finishing up following WWE SummerSlam 2020. During her time with the company, she filled many roles including backstage interviewer, hosting, commentator on WWE Raw, and more. She also hosted WWE Backstage, which aired on FS1.
Since leaving WWE, Paquette started her own podcast The Sessions, which is part of Colin Cowherd’s The Volume network. She recently filmed WWE content for A&E Network specials and joined the Cincinnati Bengals broadcast team for a new show entitled Renee All Dey.
Paquette is married to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, who signed a five-year extension with AEW on October 7.

It makes sense for her to go to AEW because of Jon, but damn does WWE need her back. Glad they brought back Cathy Kelly at least!

2022-10-08 18:50:23 +0000 UTCConsidering her husband's extension with AEW through 2027, I wish her good luck.

2022-10-08 18:16:45 +0000 UTCShe didn't need AEW. Her outside projects more than kept her relevant. Probably why she didn't show up sooner. But now that Moxley is signed long-term there, it adds stability to the family, and makes this much more viable. In the end, if it happens, it's a win for AEW.

2022-10-08 18:15:23 +0000 UTCThey brought back Cathy Kelly who I think is a better fit at this point. I love Renee but to be honest, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for her to end up in AEW. Her husbands there, she can probably do that and still have more free time for her outside projects. It’s a smart move
