It looks like AEW are going to sign a name that many fans have expected for some time now.
Renee Paquette is currently married to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and previously worked for WWE as Renee Young. She found her way into several storylines with her future husband while both were signed to the company. Since leaving WWE, Renee has stayed in the wrestling business through podcasting.
Now, Fightful Select are reporting that WWE sources believe Paquette is on her way to AEW
Fightful was told by WWE sources on Friday night that they believe Renee Paquette is headed to All Elite Wrestling. Give Me Sport’s Louis has heard that WWE reached out to Renee about coming back to the company, which we’ve yet to confirm.
Fightful reached out to Renee and AEW, who have not confirmed the move at all.
Paquette (Renee Young in WWE) spent nearly eight years (October 2012 to August 2020) in WWE, finishing up following WWE SummerSlam 2020. During her time with the company, she filled many roles including backstage interviewer, hosting, commentator on WWE Raw, and more. She also hosted WWE Backstage, which aired on FS1.
Since leaving WWE, Paquette started her own podcast The Sessions, which is part of Colin Cowherd’s The Volume network. She recently filmed WWE content for A&E Network specials and joined the Cincinnati Bengals broadcast team for a new show entitled Renee All Dey.
Paquette is married to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, who signed a five-year extension with AEW on October 7.

Renee’s husband Moxley has just recently signed a contract extension with the promotion keeping him locked down to the company for the next half a decade. Time will tell if Paquette will turn up in AEW, but she would certainly be a valuable asset to the AEW announce team.
