Bleacher Report recently did a full profile on Renee Young. During the piece, she discussed her relationship with Dean Ambrose as well as other topics. Here are the highlights:

Renee On Advice She Received From Paul Heyman:

He’s had my back from the get-go. He did not need to do that. For whatever reason, he and I have always been close when it comes to talking about being better and wanting to be the best.”

Before her debut as an analyst on Monday Night Raw, Young hunkered down in the stands of the empty arena, where Heyman found her to give his sage counsel. He just kind of gave me advice on how to be a little more succinct, how to create those little punchlines, You’ve gotta think about what this is going to sound like in a video package. Make sure you’re saying their name instead of he or she. Just little nuggets like that that you might forget. And I do forget. Sometimes, I might be out there and catch myself saying, ‘Oh, he just speared him’ instead of ‘Roman Reigns just speared Braun Strowman.

On The improv Nature Of Commentary:

Prior to working for WWE, I was always in control of my own material [at The Score]. The commentary role on Raw allows for more off-the-cuff banter for Young, play-by-play announcer Michael Cole and color commentator Corey Graves. “I’ve been here for six years, but until now, I haven’t had many opportunities to flex that [improv] muscle. I’m trying to get back into that mode.

Renee Young On Dean Ambrose And Total Divas Not Being A Good Fit For Them:

I think [our relationship] was not something we wanted to pull the curtain back on,” Young says. “That made me uncomfortable as well, because the whole time I’m just saying he’s crazy and how do I deal with this crazy person [for story purposes], which is really not our dynamic. That was really odd to navigate as we were doing it.
