PWInsider were the first to report her departure from WWE. Now, Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio confirmed the news and also added the possible reason why she is leaving WWE.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

As per Meltzer, the COVID-19 situation played a huge role in Renee Young's departure. Talking the latest episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer said:

"As far as the reason, I mean, if you look at the timing, I think it's pretty safe to say that the whole COVID thing is probably a huge part of this, just you know, again, she wasn't the only one. There were a lot of people who got COVID and a lot of people never got calls from the top people in the company and several of them were unhappy, but you know her situation is different."

It was earlier reported that the WWE higher-ups, including Vince McMahon, Triple H, Kevin Dunn, and Mark Carrano, did not contact Renee Young after she had tested positive for COVID-19.
