Starting tonight, Renee Young will be the first woman to join the Raw broadcast booth full-time.
She will now bring her unique voice and perspective to the longest-running weekly episodic program in the U.S. as she joins Michael Cole and Corey Graves at the commentary desk. Renee joined WWE in 2012 and has served as a backstage interviewer and commentator on Raw, SmackDown LIVE and NXT. She is currently part of the Mae Young Classic commentary team on WWE Network.
In turn, Jonathan Coachman will take over as the new host of WWEâ??s pay-per-view kickoff shows. A veteran broadcaster with more than 20 years of experience hosting shows for WWE, ESPN, MSG Network and the Golf Channel, Coachman will bring his unique style to millions of viewers around the world on WWE Network, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and WWE.com, as the host of WWEâ??s pay-per-view kickoff shows. Coachman will begin his new role this Sunday, Sept. 16 alongside WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, David Otunga, Sam Roberts and Peter Rosenberg prior to WWEâ??s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event.
I'm glad they've already had her on a few times already, otherwise I don't know how happy I'd have been about this. In her brief stint as an NXT announcer, she just wasn't clicking for me, but her last few appearances on the commentary team have been strong in their own right AND a vast improvement over Coachman. I'm pleased about this.
