Renee Young Recalls Dean Ambrose’s Health Scare, Talks Working With Vince McMahon
– Renee Young spoke on the Jim Ross Report about Dean Ambrose’s recent health scare and more. Highlights are below, per WZ:
On Dean Ambrose’s health scare: “He ended up having to go back in and have another surgery on his arm. He tore his tricep and went in for surgery in December and I remember him calling me New Year’s Day during a show in Miami. RAW was in Miami. His arm was bleeding everywhere. He woke up and there was blood all over the bed. He was so confused by all that had happened, not being able to fully get a look at what’s going on with his arm. He kinda kept bandaging it up trying to make it heal as quickly as possible, to reseal this opening that had happened in his arm. He eventually had to go back to Birmingham, which is where he had his surgery initially, just for a check in and that’s when they realized his infection had escalated a lot. They had go back in, clean it out. He was on antibiotics for months. It was really scary just knowing the severity of staph infection, of MRSA. It’s an eye opener. It’s really tough to see somebody you love go through something like that, especially somebody like Dean who’s this indestructible force and to see him down and out with something like that, it was tough to go through.”
On working with Vince McMahon: “It’s so new. It’s new waters for everybody and I think that’s kind of what’s happening now is figuring out how to best produce me, how to get me in a good spot. For me to be able to use Vince McMahon and to build that relationship and get on the same page, do the best job I can do and to make him happy for how I’m treating his product – between him and Kevin Dunn, I’ve been dying to be produced by them more. In the past, I really haven’t had that much experience with being produced by them….Now to be able to have more first hand interactions with Vince, it’s invaluable. It’s amazing to get that kind of perspective from the man that is behind everything that we know and love with WWE.”
On if she’s ready to do play by play at Evolution: “I don’t know. Gosh, I really don’t know. I’m always up to a challenge; but, I don’t know. I would definitely give it a shot and try my best. While we’re talking about this whole Women’s Evolution, it’s like dang might as well roll with it and try to make the most of everything. I don’t think I’m ready to do that at this point in time….it’s something that I would be into eventually tackling; but, right now I’m just trying to get comfortable in the role I’m in right now.”
