He got himself in serious hot water as he was arrested in Florida a month later on aggravated assault charges after stabbing his opponent in a match over a dozen times.

Happy 30^th birthday to WWE sideline reporter/play-by-play announcer/color commentator/studio host Renee Young.

Born Renee Pacquette in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the former child model tried her hand at improv comedy and moved to Los Angeles at 19 looking to break through as a comedic actress. When that didn't work out, she moved back home to Toronto.

Paquette worked for Canadian cable channel BiteTV as a presenter for Rippin' It-N-Lippin' It in 2008 and 2009. Renee spent three years with The Score (now known as SportsNet 360), a Canadian sports cable outlet similar to Comcast Sportsnet in the United States as a presenter for Right After Wrestling, the post-show for Monday Night RAW (later named Aftermath) alongside wrestling journalist Arda Ocai and former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas.

She signed with WWE in October 2012 and was renamed Renee Young. Her first gig was presenting the Survivor Series preshow along with Scott Stanford. She did backstage interviews for NXT and WWE Active and various World Tour segments before being promoted to being the third host of The JBL and Cole Show.

Young made her commentary debut in September 2013 for NXT working women's matches before eventually becoming a full-time commentator for the show. In July 2014, she became WWE's first full-time female announcer since LIta was briefly in the booth for Sunday Night Heat in 2003 when she became the color analyst for WWE Superstars. Earlier this year, she began hosting her own WWE Network show, Unfiltered with Renee Young, and most recently co-hosted the 2015 reboot of Tough Enough with Chris Jericho.

Renee also actually makes a cameo appearance in the Kelly Clarkson music video "Behind These Hazel Eyes", and has appeared in commercials for Noxema and Oxy. In March 2015, she confirmed she was in a relationship with Jonathan Good, known these days as Dean Ambrose.
