7 real-life couples who’ve departed WWE recently: Where are they now?

#3 Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley) and Renee Young (Renee Paquette) haven't worked together since their time in WWE

Dean Ambrose became the first big name to leave WWE and join All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Ambrose was part of a storyline with Seth Rollins when he decided that it was time to leave the company and look for better opportunities.

Ambrose was part of WWE from 2011 to 2019, and it was there where he met his future wife, Renee Young. The two started dating in 2013 and eventually got married in 2017.

Ambrose let his contract expire in April 2019, and went on to join AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) following his departure.

Renee continued her job as a backstage interviewer and color commentator in WWE until late 2020. In a recent interview, Renee spoke about how her job as a commentator became much easier after her husband departed from WWE.

“It actually made my life easier, to be honest. One of the hardest parts was I started doing commentary when he came back from injury. He came back and was coming back as this heel character and calling my husband’s matches, while he’s this wacky heel, was a really hard spot to be in. Somedays, I would get the feedback of, ‘Just call it like a wrestling match. You don’t know him’, to ‘What’d you guys have for dinner for last night? What’d you guys talk about at home over the weekend?’ I had no idea how to navigate that.”

She’s also spoken about potentially joining AEW in the future and working in the same company as her husband.

“You look at AEW and I think everything they’re doing is fantastic. I’m not saying I wouldn’t do something there. I for sure would, if the right thing came up, but it’s not the thing that I’m chasing down.”

In November 2020, Renee and Ambrose announced that they were expecting their first child. In 2021, Renee began her own podcast Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette, which is streamed on various internet platforms.
