It’s been almost three years since Renee Paquette joined All Elite Wrestling (AEW), and she’s become a fixture on the promotion’s television programming. From conducting countless backstage interviews to engaging with live crowds and hosting her own YouTube series, AEW Close-Up, Paquette has made her mark.
Yet, despite her busy schedule, she remains ambitious, with big plans for her future in AEW and the broader broadcasting world. In a recent chat with Denise Salcedo on the Queen of the Ring red carpet, Paquette opened up about her aspirations.
“I love doing interviews, especially those long-form ones,” Paquette shared. “I had so much fun with The Sessions podcast, and I’d love to bring that style to TV. Something like that would be awesome—I’m throwing it out there into the universe, so everyone, put it on your vision boards!” Recently, Paquette has taken on more sit-down interviews on AEW TV, like the one featuring Toni Storm and Mariah May before their Revolution match. However, that role has typically been handled by Jim Ross, leaving Paquette eager to carve out her own space in that format.
When it comes to her favorite interview subjects, Paquette highlighted Harley Cameron and Swerve Strickland for their unique energies. She also gave a nod to her husband, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, a frequent guest on The Sessions until the podcast went on indefinite hiatus in 2023 due to her growing AEW commitments.
“They all bring something different to the table,” she noted, reflecting on what keeps her work exciting.
Paquette’s journey in AEW shows no signs of slowing down, and her vision for the future—blending her interview skills with a bigger platform—hints at even more impactful contributions to come.
As she continues to evolve, fans and colleagues alike will be watching to see how her goals manifest, both inside the wrestling ring and beyond.
