In her four years with WWE, Renee Young has fulfilled a number of roles, including backstage interviewer, host, and analyst. But the one role fans tend to forget she had for a time was commentating, specifically on NXT and WWE Superstars.

When she joined NXT's announce team in 2013, WWE touted her as their first full-time female commentator in over a decade. Simply because she thrived at interviewing didn't necessarily mean she would make for a serviceable commentator, but she actually did quite well and exceeded expectations of fans by injecting her own bubbly personality behind the booth on the black-and-yellow brand.

Granted, it took time for her to grow comfortable in the role, but once she found her footing, she was a welcomed addition to the announce team and didn't distract from the matches too much at all.

When she was pulled from commentary in early 2015, it wasn't a sign that she wasn't performing well. Rather, WWE had other uses in mind for her, and she has since moved on to become the lead interviewer on SmackDown Live and hosting Talking Smack, among other things.
