Renee Young Discusses Why She Left WWE

Posted By: Ben Kerin on Dec 09, 2020

Renee Paquette (WWE: Renee Young) was a guest recently on The Bella Twins podcast and discussed her recent departure from WWE:

ā€œIt’s good now. I think as soon as I came to terms, I realized it is time to go. I’ve done everything that I could possibly do here. I had aĀ greatĀ run. It was awesome. But for the other things I wanted to do in my career, I didn’t really see it happening there. Just with everything the way itĀ linedĀ up with the Covid stuff happening, me getting sick, not that had to do anything with my decision, but it was just like everything was weird for a while.

Traveling back andĀ forth, I wasn’t into. There really wasn’t much left for me to go. So it was time to go. I got pregnant the month after I left. We’ve been trying for a while. It is a weird adjustment at first because you are so used to being on the go. But, I did ease out of it because of Covid that I wasn’t on the road all the time. I was doing Backstage andĀ flyingĀ to L.A. more than I wasĀ flyingĀ out to SmackDown. I was able to ease into it that way. The weirdest part is being out of the loop with yourĀ friends. You miss seeing everybody. You miss the bulls**t in the back. That’s what I miss. I don’t necessarily miss theĀ jobs IĀ was doing, but I miss the people a lot. It’s so sad. I hope we are going to stay in touch but I know when you’re not there, it isĀ hardĀ to maintain that.

There are people that I’m still talking to and staying in touch with, but it’s just not the same as killing time backstage and catching up with each other in catering. Then figuring out, now what do I want to do. I left without having anything lined up or really knowing what I wanted to do. My gut told me it’s time now for you to go. Everyone was cool about it. There’s no ill will or bad feelings. I just want to go do other things. I need to spread my wings a little bit and step away from this and get out of that safety net. It’s great to be there and it’s great to have those opportunities and steady income that you know is good, but I feel like when you are not challenging yourself anymore, it’s time to step out on a limb again.ā€
