Renee Paquette On Possibly Doing Reality TV Again: ‘Never Say Never’
Renee Paquette looks back on her stint on reality television.
Renee Paquette comments on her time on Total Divas.
Before joining All Elite Wrestling on October 12th last year, Paquette previously worked in WWE under the name Renee Young as a backstage interviewer, show host and more.
During her tenure in the company, she featured as part of the main cast in season six of Total Divas, and had previously featured on the show in a recurring role in seasons four and five.
While speaking on Women’s Wrestling Talk recently, Renee commented on her time on reality television and if she would return, noting that she has a “never say never” approach.
“My experience with it, I think was like, I feel like I look back on it…so far removed from it being like, Wow, what a cool experience that I was given to do. But I think sort of in that world of being in reality television, on the road, having my boyfriend at the time, who was very resistant to doing it, trying to get him involved doing it trying to figure out like, what are my storylines on the show, I don’t really have much like drama, I’m not wrestling. I was trying to figure out who I was on the show. And that I think that was like a little bit of a hurdle for me. And listen, there’s an art to doing reality television, we see people that are great at it, and we see people that are not so great at it. And yeah, I mean, I don’t think that I was so great at it. I think in another world though and I think with the experience that I had doing that that I could be more open to it now. Given you know just yet what I know about it and who I am as a person now I think is a little bit different. Um, so yeah, I’m always open to kind of everything. So I would never say never. But yeah, it really was a cool experience.”
Paquette would continue to feature as a guest on Total Divas in seasons seven through nine following her exit from the main cast after the sixth season.
Elsewhere in the same interview, Renee said it was “disappointing” to see Saraya lose the AEW Women’s World Championship. You can read more here.
