Former WWE announcer Renee Young sat down with the SI Media Podcast this week and discussed a string of topics concerning her stint in WWE and her departure from the promotion. Young recalled testing positive for the Coronavirus and added that she was bothered with WWE's reaction to her announcement.

Renee Young revealed that WWE didn't react well when she announced publicly that she had tested positive. She further stated that WWE told her that she should have given the company a heads up before making the announcement.

"They weren't even like 'You shouldn't have posted it.' But it was like, 'We wish you gave us a heads up.' It was bad for PR and what not. But again, I wouldn't have even thought to be like, "Hey guys, I'm gonna tweet that I have Covid, ha, ha. Like, that was just not what I was thinking about when I posted it."
"Listen, anything I say on this is gonna end up seeming like controversial or like I'm sh**ting on it or whatever," she said, "but, yeah, did I feel a little slighted? I didn't really feel like anyone was all that concerned that I got sick. That bothered me for sure. "
