What Vince McMahon Told Renee Young During WWE Raw Commentary

Renee Young revealed during a special backstage interview for WWE's official YouTube channel that Vince McMahon only spoke to her once during her debut commentary gig on last night's episode of Raw.

Older fans will recall Mick Foley's annoyance that McMahon had verbally blasted him when the legend was doing colour commentary in 2008, so it may come as a slight surprise that the boss went so easy on Young; maybe Vince was aware that being tough on Renee would be unfair, or perhaps he was just delighted with her work.

Let's bank on the latter, because Young did an excellent job alongside Michael Cole and Corey Graves.

The pressure must have been intense for Renee. Not only was she filling the "third wheel" announce position, she was also the first female in history to call an entire three-hour Raw broadcast. In the clip, even she seemed surprised that McMahon had been so quiet throughout the night.

According to Young, Vince only told her to slow down once. To her credit, she's also aware that he was "kind of letting me get away with a few things tonight".
