Renee Young Calls WWE SummerSlam Her ‘Last Hurrah,’ Confirms WWE Departure
Renee Young is ready for her last hurrah.
On August 19 it was reported by Bobby Burack of OutKick that Renee Young would be leaving WWE. She was expected to work SummerSlam and her last date was not known. PWInsider added to the report that Renee handed in her notice the week prior.
Renee was part of the SummerSlam kick-off panel, though not in her usual host position. Instead, she was one of the special contributors and after an introduction by Charly Caruso, who praised Renee for paving the way for women in WWE, Renee called SummerSlam her “last hurrah.”
Nothing but respect for the queen of @WWEonFOX, @ReneeYoungWWE. #SummerSlam
