Renee Young has many career options following her rumored WWE departure

Renee Young has become a popular face on WWE TV over the past eight years, after signing with the company and becoming part of their broadcast team back in October 2012.

Young has held down a number of different roles throughout her time in WWE including being a backstage interviewer, pre-show host, commentator, and most recently the host of WWE Backstage on FOX.

PWinsider is reporting that Young handed her notice in with WWE a week ago and there is no word on when her final dates with WWE could be. Young has recently taken some time off after contracting COVID-19 and it's unknown if she will be seen again on WWE TV. That being said, Young definitely has several options when it comes to her future.


#5. Renee Young could pursue a career as a comedy actress

Renee Young made the decision to move into a career in presenting and broadcasting when she joined Canada's The Score television network back in 2009. Before Young chose to pursue this career choice, she had moved to Los Angeles in the hope that she could become a comedic actress.

At the age of 19, this was the dream that Young wanted to pursue and she moved to LA so that she could live it out. At the time, it didn't work out and she headed back to Toronto, but now that Young has a little more experience in front of the camera and has become a recognizable name, the former commentator could have better chances of landing some interesting roles.

It was the frustration from the lack of roles that she landed that took Renee Young down the broadcasting path, but now could be the perfect time in her career for a U-turn.

#4. Renee young could train to be an in-ring talent

Renee Young has been around wrestlers for the past eight years and has been seen in the ring a number of times, which means that she has to have some experience even if it's the most basic.

Young is also married to former WWE star and current AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, which means that she already has the perfect teacher if she decides to make the switch over to an in-ring career.

There was a time during her spell on SmackDown that WWE reportedly planned to have the feud between Maryse, The Miz, Dean Ambrose, and Renee culminate in a mixed tag team match, but obviously, this plan didn't go ahead.

It always seems as though Renee Young is interested in stepping into the ring but WWE is reluctant to give her a chance. If Young wants to have a future where this is an option then it would be wise for her to take a few months out to develop her skills before looking at joining a new company.

#3. Renee Young could go back into hosting sports shows

Renee Young has tried her hand at a number of different positions in her time in WWE and made it clear that she wasn't happy on commentary because she didn't feel as though she was in control.

Young has become used to being the person hosting the show which is why she enjoyed being part of WWE Backstage because she was the one in control. The show was sadly canceled by FOX a few months ago and now Young is in a position where she doesn't have a regular role in WWE.

Before Young came to WWE she would host sports shows on The Score and could decide to go back to doing this since it's something she enjoyed.

This would also allow Renee Young to continue to talk about wrestling as she was the regular host of a wrestling show before she was recruited by WWE. Young may see this as a step backward since this was where she started over a decade ago, but if this is where she felt most at home then it's worth it.

#2. Renee Young could continue to write cookbooks

Renee Young took to Instagram a few months ago to tease a huge announcement to all of her followers. Many fans believed that this would be Young announcing her WWE departure or even her in-ring debut for WWE, but instead, she went on to announce that she was releasing her own cookbook.

It appears that the Canadian star is a fantastic cook and now she wants to share some of her recipes with her followers both on and offline. The star recently revealed that she had shot the cover of the book which means that it could be released in the coming months.

This could be a new career path for Renee Young, who could go on to host cooking shows instead and completely move off WWE's radar and out of the wrestling business. Young has the world at her feet with this new career since the book is yet to be released but it could be a huge hit and could be the beginning of a journey that Young will love just as much as she loves being in the wrestling business.

#1. Renee Young could join Jon Moxley in AEW

The obvious career change that Renee Young could be looking at after walking away from WWE would be to join her husband in All Elite Wrestling. The company has held a regular show now for almost a year and already many ex-WWE stars have joined the ranks including The Revival, Matt Hardy, Luke Harper, and Chris Jericho.

The broadcast team in AEW could definitely thrive with someone like Renee Young there to focus the show, while Young would probably find it much easier to be working for the same company as her husband once again.

The WWE star has become a popular face in the wrestling world so it's hard to believe that she would step out of the business completely. Moxley is the AEW World Champion and has his own fanbase in All Elite Wrestling, so Young could decide that it's time to join up with her husband once again.

One thing is for sure, Renee Young will not be part of the commentary team on AEW Dynamite anytime soon.
