Having officially departed WWE nearly a year ago, Renee Paquette has been detailing how she still has a good relationship with Vince McMahon's sports entertainment juggernaut.

Speaking to Wrestling Inc., the former Renee Young explained the door has been left open to work with WWE again in the future.

"There's definitely no reason for me to not pop up and do stuff [with WWE], or not be a part of stuff if they want to reach out and do some stuff. Either it works or it doesn't work, but there's no obligation. I always have love for WWE."

During this interview, Paquette also discussed her current schedule of balancing motherhood with her career, but reiterated how she still has dreams to chase - and that things once on the back-burner are now starting to move to the front-burner.

On her WWE exit, Renee said it was simply "time for me to move on" and try doing new things.

Paquette's WWE tenure saw her go from backstage interviewer, to panel host, to show host, to Raw commentator, and a whole bunch of other gigs in between. Throughout her eight-year run with the company, the Canadian did pretty much everything imaginable bar actually wrestle a match.

Renee's last full-time date with WWE was last year's SummerSlam, although she has made a couple of sporadic appearances in the time since then. The belief is that she has a bonkers one-year WWE non-compete clause, which, if true, would make her free to return to wrestling in just a matter of weeks should she choose to do so.
