WWE News: Renee Young Becoming Full Time RAW Announcer

It has been less than a month now since Renee Young made history by becoming the first female to join the Monday Night RAW announce team for an entire episode on August 13th, replacing Jonathan Coachman for the night.

Renee would receive an outpouring of support from fans on social media, showing she had certainly improved from her days on the NXT announce team at the same time. She would again step in for Coachman last week to another excellent response from the WWE Universe and now, WWE has decided to make the role more official.

Today, WWE has announced that Renee Young will be joining the RAW broadcast team full-time. Jonathan Coachman will be hosting the company’s pay-per-view Kickoff shows, starting this coming Sunday with the Hell In A Cell Kickoff at 6PM EST on the WWE Network. Below is WWE’s full announcement:

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 WWE’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 WWE’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 WWE’s Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event.
