Renee recently joined Chris Van Vliet on his podcast discussing a plethora of things, including her WWE release. Chris asked her when she legit thought about leaving WWE.
Renee instantly replied, “I think it’s probably like two, three years ago, I had asked for my release from WWE. Because it felt like there really wasn’t much else for me to do there.
