For the record I don't want her in AEW, but signing her would make their product better (therefore they would be focusing on their own product). Signing someone when they're available doesn't make a dig at a former employer.I wasn't saying that it was. What i'm saying is that almost half of the ex WWE staff. They have employed have made digs, one way or another. On and off screen. It's getting boring now. I wouldn't be surprised if she went there, the second she steps foot in the building. If she has a onscreen role. Some funny quip or comment will be put in the script for her to say! It's almost predicable now. Well you're either saying that it does mean that, or you're saying something totally off topic... There isn't really a third option. Regardless I think it's far more likely she ends up in something not related to wrestling.

She's Expendable. All she's been doing is Pre- shows anyway

That stuff is what it is. I think Renee is good enough for GMA or something like that. She’s a talented and fun woman.

She’s good in the talk show mold, but was terrible as an announcer. Too me Mauro Ranallo is the top announcer, and Nigel and Corey are the only two worth while color guys in WWE.

I think Mauro is overrated. His reliance on pop culture references is so cringe. He could be a turn off and I think he takes away from the matches at times. Nigel and Corey are very good and I think Tom Phillips is up there too. As for Renee, she is super talented and very good at her various roles she’s been given. She’ll be a great asset to whoever picks her up. I know ESPN was trying to get her at one time.

Renee previously worked as a sportscaster for a network in Canada called Sportsnet 360 and was on their wrestling analysis show Aftermath before getting signed by WWE. I always thought it was cool that she went from being more of a local celebrity (for lack of a better term) then going on to become quite popular in WWE. Renee always came across as very genuine to me, especially when she was in an MC/journalistic role on screen. I can definitely see her popping up in AEW, even if just a few appearances associated with Moxley. If she does stay in the industry and more specifically jumps to AEW, I'd love to see her in more of an enhanced interviewing role than what WWE had her doing in the last year; like a modern day Mean Gene. It would also be interesting to hear how she does on commentary with more creative freedom as well. The channel was still called "The Score Television Network" back then. Rogers hasn't purchased it yet. I never watched "Aftermath" but Renee was always in commercials promoting it so I knew who she was. It was hilarious when she debuted because I had no idea they had signed her. Suddenly the "Aftermath" commercial girl is interviewing wrestlers backstage. WTF? I didn't like her as an announcer because Cole and Graves would ALWAYS talk over her. She would stop talking, or just keep talking through them and the whole thing sounded like sh*t. I don't want her in AEW. If it means getting rid of Marvez, absolutely. I don't see that happening though. There's no room for her on their 11 man commentary team (seems like it sometimes) and I don't want her there to be with Mox.

To be honest she's a great host so I don't see her having any problems finding a better role outside WWE.

She very much got the short end of the stick on the Raw commentary job. She would've done much better if she was allowed to just be herself like she was on Backstage and on her WWE Network show.
Hope nothing but the best for her. Might have to pick up the cookbook she's got coming out soon too.

Well, first off, it it wasn't for Renee, Punk wouldn't have agreed to "return" on backstage - so she gets thanks for that. She's great at what she does and could easily be an Erin Andrews/Charissa Thompson type reporter/host. She's got bags of personality and is great to look at. Her NXT commentary was decent - however, once she got to RAW, her largely one-line announcing became annoying after a while. It also didn't help that she apparently had to stay silent, whenever hubby was on-screen. For the record I don't want her in AEW, but signing her would make their product better (therefore they would be focusing on their own product). Signing someone when they're available doesn't make a dig at a former employer.I wasn't saying that it was. What i'm saying is that almost half of the ex WWE staff. They have employed have made digs, one way or another. On and off screen. Ingrates, most of 'em... mind you, you can't really expect much else, when the biggest ingrate by far, is also the company's EVP.

I enjoyed her on Talking Smack and Backstage when I watched it. I don’t really have any interest in seeing her in AEW but I’m sure she’ll do well anywhere else she goes.

There probably already licking there lips at the thought of it. Coming up with all sorts of things for her to say about the "Enemy" of professional wrestling. Deary me, it's pathetic.

It didn’t chap my a** when they had Robbie E be a knock off Tony Khan. That stuff is what it is. I think Renee is good enough for GMA or something like that. She’s a talented and fun woman. WWE seem tame in comparison. Witch i found to be quite stupid really. It's like there letting them walk all over them. If this was 20 or 30 years ago, they would have destroyed them.

I don't know why this is where you're taking out your distain for a promotion that isn't WWE. I'd be more than happy to keep talking about this elsewhere, but I don't want to derail this thread.

Not to derail this thread further but who gives a crap if AEW takes shots at WWE? Companies take shots at their competition all the time with advertising. Insurance companies do it, phone carriers, computer and other technology companies too. Those companies are still pushing product or services at the expense of their competition, so how is it any different when AEW does it?
