8 Legitimate Reasons Dean Ambrose Has To Be Unhappy With WWE

3. Relegating Renee

Renee Young is among the most underutilised performers in WWE today, and she isn't even a wrestler.

A broadcaster whose skill, personality, and affability stretch far beyond Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and anyone else in a similar role, Young is better than WWE. There'll come a day when she, too, will walk away from this promotion. When she does, she'll enjoy a long, successful broadcasting career with a major sports outlet, and as she prospers, WWE will be left wondering how they could've been stupid enough to misuse her for so long.

The awesome Talking Smack chat show was taken away from Young in 2016. Relegated to basic Kickoff Show/backstage interviewer duties in the aftermath, she made no attempt at hiding her frustration, speaking out against the move on social media. Things finally seemed to be looking up in September 2018, when Renee was made a full-time member of Raw's announce team, but she has since been presented as a spineless Stepford Wife-type character, marking her as the latest victim of WWE's commentary curse.

These role reshuffles, coupled with the constant exploitation of Young's marriage to WWE's 'Moral Compass,' likely played a part in Dean Ambrose's discontent.
