Former WWE star Sean “X-Pac” Waltman took to his podcast, X-Pac 12360, to talk about Renee Young joining the RAW commentary team. Young is the first woman in WWE history to join the RAW commentary team on a full-time basis. She has been announced as Jonathan Coachman’s replacement.
Shortly after the announcement, Young received a ton of support from the professional wrestling community on Twitter. It’s a big step for the Women’s Revolution that WWE has been pushing lately. Waltman says that WWE made a smart move in adding Young to the commentary team.
Not only was the move, obviously, made to push women’s empowerment, but Young is actually good at it:
“It’s no surprise to me that smart people in the WWE realized this is a really good move,” Waltman said. “It’s not just because [she’s female], yeah part of it is obviously the empowerment of women, but she’s really good at it!
“You don’t want people being put in positions just because they’re a woman. Because I don’t think that does any good for the movement at all. So, you get capable women that are really good at what they do and you give them a shot to do things. And that’s what this is, and it’s great! And I hope she continues to do a great job.”
