Renee Young Joins Raw Commentary Team Full Time, Replacing Coachman

WWE announced that Renee Young will be joining the Raw commentary team full time starting tonight, alongside Michael Cole and Corey Graves.

Jonathan Coachman will instead take over Renee’s old role as the host of WWE’s PPV Kickoff shows. He’ll start this Sunday at Hell in a Cell, alongside Booker T, David Otunga, Sam Roberts and Peter Rosenberg.

Renee Young filled in for Coachman on the August 13 and September 3 Raws because Coachman had prior obligations with the Golf Channel.

I am so so so insanely excited about this! To be the first woman to take over that chair that so many amazingly talented voices and personalities have sat in before me! Thank you to @VinceMcMahon @StephMcMahon @TripleH @MichaelCole and @WWEGraves (and MANY others) ❤️⚡️⚡️ https://t.co/fOKRKlheHE

A sincere congratulations to @ReneeYoungWWE for a much deserved move to the table on Raw. To be part of a team means understanding your strengths and using them to help the team grow. I have always embraced with positivity any role asked of me. That will not change.

I somehow managed to lose 2 different iPhones this week.

I’m back together and my first order of business to congratulate @ReneeYoungWWE.

I did it in person already. But, you know, if it doesn’t happen on Social Media, it doesn’t happen. 🎤
