Tony Khan DELIGHTED With This AEW Newcomer's Impact

Tony Khan is delighted with what Renee Paquette is already bringing to the table in All Elite Wrestling.

The AEW founder and CEO said as much of the latest addition to his broadcast team in an interview with Sports Illustrated last week. Speaking with Justin Barrasso, Khan stated that while Paquette was new to AEW, she was a familiar face, referencing her prominence in the wrestling community. Claiming Renee "brings amazing presence" to company television, Khan noted the value of having her around.

Said Khan:-

“Renee is new to AEW, but she’s a very familiar face. Working with her is such a great pleasure. She’s a consummate professional and brings so much knowledge and experience to our production backstage, and she’s brought her amazing presence to AEW TV. We’re very excited to have her, and this week she’s doing a sitdown interview. Her brain is so valuable for us to have backstage producing the shows.”

Paquette debuted for AEW on its 12 October episode of Dynamite, working a familiar role as a presenter and interviewer. This came following speculation of her heading to Khan's company stemming from a report stating WWE personnel believed she was heading to AEW. WWE had previously contacted the Canadian over a potential return to the promotion she was with from 2012 to 2020, doing so as part of a reshuffle of its own broadcast teams.

Post-WWE, Paquette started a hugely successful podcast, The Sessions, released a cookbook, and welcomed her and husband Jon Moxley's first child, Nora Murphy Good, into the world.
