With recent reports claiming that Renee Paquette could soon sign with All Elite Wrestling, there's now rumblings that Renee could actually make her AEW bow on tonight's episode of Dynamite.

Via SEScoops, one of their sources believes that Paquette could start with AEW tonight, with this week's Dynamite offering taking place from the Canadian's hometown of Toronto, Ontario.

Various outlets have recently claimed WWE reached out to Renee about returning to the company, although the market leader was left under the impression that the hugely talented Paquette was heading to AEW. In an update on this, Sports Illustrated's Justin Barrasso notes how these talks with WWE were in regards to the recent broadcast shake-ups seen across Raw, SmackDown and NXT.

As Renee Young, the 37-year-old was with WWE from 2012 until 2020, with her numerous duties spanning from backstage interviewer, to panel host, to commentator, to plentiful WWE Network productions, and to spearheading the short-lived WWE Backstage on FS1. Since departing WWE, Paquette created her own The Sessions podcast, co-hosts SiriusXM's Throwing Down show with Miesha Tate, wrote a cookbook, and recently joined the Cincinnati Bengals broadcast team.

Of course, Renee's husband Jon Moxley is currently the AEW World Champion, and only last week it was confirmed that Mox has signed a new five-year contract with Tony Khan's promotion. Whether Renee does indeed end up joining the Death Rider in AEW remains to be seen, but it certainly seems likely if these recent reports are to be believed
