Fan-favourite Renee Paquette, formerly Renee Young in WWE and wife to AEW's Jon Moxley, is finally free to work with other promotions.

During an interview with Wrestling Inc., the former Raw Talk host confirmed that she is "free and clear" from her WWE Non-Compete Clause:

“I think I’m free and clear. I can be at Bloodsport. I’m gonna be at Bloodsport. Everyone better buckle up and hold on to their asses. I’ll fight anyone, except for Miesha. I won’t fight Miesha … Oh my god, maybe I could be Miesha’s manager. I could valet her. Oh my god. My whole world just busted wide open. This is very exciting. There’s money to be made is all I’m saying,” Renee Paquette said.

She spent eight years in WWE, leaving in August 2020. Since then, the former commentator has had a very successful career in podcasting. Her podcast, Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette, has been a massive hit among fans and wrestlers.

When asked if she would consider returning to professional wrestling, Paquette was "open to the idea" but might not return to the commentary table:

“I’m definitely open to the idea. I miss pro wrestling, I miss being involved in the pro wrestling world, in that capacity, but I don’t know what that job would be or what my role could be within AEW. We could probably rattle off a couple different ideas of things to do, and as AEW is growing, as their broadcasts are growing, as they’re adding on new shows, I think there’s definitely a role. I don’t know that I necessarily want to jump back onto commentary by any means, but I think doing some interviews, doing some features., I love doing features. I just love pro wrestling" Renee said.

Why did Renee Paquette leave WWE?

In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Paquette explained that leaving WWE was a simple matter of having nothing else to accomplish. Apart from commentary, she was doing backstage interviews and hosting shows in WWE.

She requested her release a couple of years ago but finally received it last year. Apart from her podcast, Paquette has written a cookbook and given birth to a baby girl. It is safe to assume Renee has her hands full at the moment.
