Renee Paquette Not Against Doing Segments With Jon Moxley, Doesn’t Feel It Should Be Forced

Renee Paquette comments on working on-screen with Jon Moxley. 

Paquette officially signed with AEW on Wednesday and celebrated her new contract by opening AEW Dynamite in Toronto by interviewing Christian Cage. Paquette was featured throughout the show in various interview segments. 

Paquette joins her husband Jon Moxley, who is the reigning AEW World Champion, in the company. 

Speaking on her podcast The Sessions, Paquette discussed the possibility of working with her husband on-screen. 

“We’ve never spoken about it, to be completely honest, it’s not something we’ve spoken about, but the way that I look at it and feel about it, at the risk of sounding super cheesy, he has built something so special and so authentic and great with what he does. He is in such a great groove. He’s the best. What he’s been able to do within his time in AEW, the stuff he does on the Indies, the stuff he decides to do, he’s in this pocket and I never want to do anything to distract from that or get my own shit in there with what he’s doing. I don’t want to be that person who is like, ‘Me too. Don’t forget about me. That’s my husband.’ I think that’s obnoxious as all hell. If there was a thing, of course I’m not going to pretend that I’m not married to the guy or act like I don’t know him. That’s dumb. In terms of positioning myself or making an awareness, ‘That’s my husband, there’s Jon Moxley’s wife.’ I don’t think anyone needs that,” she said. “Jon has such a loner, lone wolf vibe about him, to be like, ‘the cheery happy girl is his wife,’ it’s a weird juxtaposition that I don’t know that works on camera.”

Paquette continued, saying she enjoys working in a different space from him. 

“We’ve been able to coexist in the wrestling world because…how annoying would it be, say we were doing a segment together and I mess something up or I missed my cue, anything like that. Then you have to talk about it. Us having our own separate roles, we never step on each other’s toes, we both have an immense amount of respect for what the other does. Those things don’t need to intertwine. It’s wrestling, if there is ever a moment that it does make sense and something like that does happen, cool. I’m not saying I’m against it, I just don’t think it’s something that ever needs to be forced or harped on,” she said.

Paquette and Moxley previously worked together in WWE where their relationship was referenced at various points on television, most notably when Moxley (Dean Ambrose in WWE) feuded with The Miz and when Paquette was on commentary for Moxley’s matches.
