More Details on Renee Young Departing WWE Following Summerslam
UPDATE: While the exact nature of the message is unknown, an image Renee Young shared on her Instagram Story last week has been gaining speculation after news of her WWE exit was reported earlier today. You can see a screenshot of the message she shared last week.
It read, “I know what I bring to the table… so trust me when I say I’m not afraid to eat alone.” Additionally, talkSPORT’s Alex McCarthy is also reporting that Young is expected to leave after Summerslam.

ORIGINAL: Outkick reports (and PWInsider confirms) that Renee Young is leaving WWE. She gave her notice a week ago that she is planning to leave, but it’s unknown what her final date will be. She will still work this weekend’s Summerslam and related events.
Young has been working with WWE since 2012, after previously working for Canada’s Score Network. She has had a variety of jobs, including RAW color commentator, backstage interview, host of WWE Backstage and Talking Smack and more.
It remains to be seen where she goes next. While it’s possible she could join AEW with her husband Jon Moxley, she’s also had offers outside of the wrestling industry. Her recent cook book is an example of that.
Young seemingly hinted at this last week in a post on her Instagram story, where she wrote: “I know what I bring to the table. So trust me when I say I’m not afraid to eat alone.”
