WWE announcer Renee Young interviews WWE Superstars and other pop-culture celebrities, covering just about everything, except what they are famous for. In this short-form series, Renees guests include Grammy Award winner Wiz Khalifa, five-time Grammy nominee Skylar Grey and WWE Superstars Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Unfiltered will debut in May.
It's nice to see WWE realizing the talent they have in Renee Young and finding more ways to utilize her. She's such a natural in her role as backstage interviewer and is really growing into an exceptional commentator when she's behind the desk on NXT. She's someone who could easily succeed outside the business so WWE would do well to keep her happy and send more opportunities her way. The show itself sounds like it will have a laid back vibe and probably make for some fun viewing, but WWE would do well to rethink their guest list. Wiz Khalifa and Skylar Grey both have their fans but I'm not sure there's much crossover between their audience and WWE's. The Rollins and Reigns segments should be intriguing provided their not conducted in character like the sit-down interviews Michael Cole hosts. All in all, this one sounds promising and could be something to build upon.
