Welcome back to the channel guys!
Today we’re going to be taking a look at some comments from Renee Young’s recent
interview about her WWE exit and what went wrong as well as some long term plans for
Roman’s huge opponent in the future
Let’s start things off with Renee Young.
We haven’t spoke much about Renee Young since her WWE departure was announced, but
Renee has been very active in recent weeks when it comes to interviews
There’s new Renee Young interviews coming out every day and she’s talking about so
many different topics and issues
So I wanted to go over all these dozens of Renee interviews at once and see what she
has to say
Renee was recently a guest on the sports media podcast and she talked about some of her high
and low points in WWE as well as this transitional period she’s currently in
Renee had this to say about where she’s at right now:
"Technically, I'm still employed with Fox Sports.
I'm no longer with WWE, though.
It's been really weird.
Even going back to while I was there and had the days marked on the calendar, the clock
was ticking and I was trying to put the finishing touches on my book.”
“It ended up leaking out that I was leaving, so I had all these people reaching out to
me and asking questions while I was still trying to do everything that I needed to do.”
"It was a really hectic situation.
Now that I'm past all of that, I can just kind of relax and refocus on what I want my
next career move to be.”
“Coming from the days of having all of my days planned out and what not, it's kind of
like battling myself on being able to fully relax and take my time, but I'm starting to
feel that sense of urgency to make a decision on what my next move is going to be."
Renee also talked about her time on raw commentary and issues with the communication to Vince
McMahon while she was on commentary:
"I definitely felt like I lost steam, but couldn't quite put my finger on why.
I really felt like they were giving me the keys to the castle and everyone was supportive,
but once my run on commentary ended up not being what everyone thought it would - certainly
wasn't what I had hoped it would be - they just ended up kicking me back to Fox to do
my thing.
Which was fine, but I just felt lost.”
"Everything outside of RAW commentary and hosting a show on Fox just seemed like a step
back.
I felt like I was just spinning my wheels and there was nowhere to go.
I was always the 'A' person in a broadcast for the majority of my career, and now all
of a sudden, I'm the third voice at a commentary table.”
“Graves and Cole have been calling SmackDown for so long and cover everything wall-to-wall
that by the time an opportunity came up, there wouldn't be much left to say."
Another major issue for Renee on commentary was calling her husband’s matches.
Renee said she was told not to mention her relationship with Jon on commentary, but they
would have Corey Graves ask her strange questions about Jon Moxley that made her even more confused
on what to say
Renee had this to say about that little situation right there
"My head was spinning.
I would be told all the time, 'Don't say anything about it.
Just call the match as it is and we're not going to mention it.'
Then the next thing I know, Graves is getting fed lines about wondering what we talk about
at the dinner table or what we talk about at home.”
“It was such a weird thing, and when he re-debuted as a heel, I was struggling with
saying the right things to put him and his character over.
I knew how important it was to him and how much time and effort he put into making that
heel run a success.
I thought I was going to be the one to trash it and not make it successful.
It was a lot of pressure to get it right.”
"The biggest problem I had was not being able to hear Vince in my headset.
I was constantly like, 'Wait, what?' or asking him to repeat himself in the little spy cam
at the desk.”
“Obviously, when you're out there, you know people are going to be throwing a bunch of
stuff at you, but it's really difficult if you can't hear them or understand what they're
saying.”
“There's a lack of communication to it.
Even when I'd ask for direction on how to be produced, I wouldn't really get it.
It goes both ways.
As many times as I felt over-produced, there was an equal amount of time I really felt
like I was hung out to dry."
So I found that comment from Renee about her time on Raw commentary to be quite interesting
because it provides a lot of context to why she felt so unnatural on commentary
Renee was getting a lot of bad feedback from fans as well for her commentary.
Some fans even claiming that she sounded like the robotic commentary from WWE video games
But telling from these comments and really looking back at Renee’s time on Raw commentary,
I think she would’ve done an amazing job, it just sounds like they threw so much at
her and really overwhelmed her with so much instructions
It sounds there was a lot of “Don’t talk about this...say this...don’t mention that”
sort of thing going on with Renee Young on commentary and it got to point where she was
just unsure on what to actually say
Like the example that Renee used.
On one hand they’re telling her don’t talk about your relationship with Jon Moxley,
but then at the same time they’re having Corey Graves question her about what her and
Jon talk about over dinner at home
That’s horrible because you put Renee in such an uncomfortable and strange spot.
She’s over here thinking “okay, don’t talk about my relationship with my husband”
then they ask her a question like that.
She wasn’t ready or prepared at all to answer that question because she wasn’t expecting
it
I just think Renee could’ve done amazing on commentary if it was just more natural
and they didn’t overwhelm her with so much things.
Just reading through her comments, it sounds like a nightmare to be on commentary calling
a match, talking to your colleagues, and having people screaming instructions into your ear
through your headset, it sounds very overwhelming from an outsider’s perspective
Renee is still on her 90 day no compete clause, so we’ll have to wait for that to expire
to see where Renee will take her career to next
———————————————
So we have another interesting update to Roman Reigns and the universal championship
If it isn’t obvious to you already, Roman Reigns is reportedly set to have a very long
reign as Universal Champion
Which is great news considering his fresh new feel to his character that I love, so
it’s going to be interesting to see the feuds Roman gets into and just how he interacts
with other superstars
He has this really cocky and sarcastic feel to his character right now that is really
entertaining, so I’m really hoping we see more of Roman just interacting with other
superstars
Apparently the long term plan for Roman Reigns is to have him face The Fiend at next year’s
Wrestlemania
This is another believable storyline because it really makes sense
The fiend was never pinned for the title and never got a rematch for the title either.
Reason being that they want to save that Roman Reigns vs Bray Wyatt feud for Wrestlemania
37
Which I actually love.
I really thought Bray Wyatt would be Roman’s first opponent, but it seems like they’ll
be saving Bray vs Roman for Wrestlemania season which I really don’t mind at all
Bray Wyatt has been in the universal title picture on a consistent basis since last October,
so it makes sense to give him a little break from the title scene and bring him back into
the scene around Wrestlemania season
The story is right there in front of us.
Bray Wyatt was never pinned and here’s not going to forget about what Roman did at all
It will be interesting to see what Bray Wyatt does from now until Wrestlemania season though
There’s lot of rumors about him creating a new Wyatt family, possibly linking up with
Alexa Bliss, and a lot of other rumors, so there should a lot of storyline material to
keep him busy until Wrestlemania 37
But it looks like Roman will be walking through everyone very easily and his hardest challenge
will be The Fiend Bray Wyatt down the line around Wrestlemania
What are your thoughts on the topics we talked about today?
How do you feel about Renee Young’s reveals and the possibility of Roman Reigns vs Bray
Wyatt at Wrestlemania
