She adds that she wasn’t really close to her brother growing up but as the years have passed they’ve become quite close. They’ve developed a mutual respect for each other, as they’ve both found success in their individual fields of work. She also points out that he’s the only other person who understands what she went through growing up.
Young feels that WWE noticed her through the WWE coverage she did in Canada. They eventually brought her in for an interview and audition, but she didn’t think it went well at all. She was put through the ringer that day, and she even had to do commentary with Matt Striker at one point.
Garcia points out that she felt so out of her element during her audition as well. She was also asked to do commentary for a match and she didn’t even know the characters at that point. Young was ultimately given a one year contract and was very excited because she wanted to move to the United States and this would make her dream happen.
Initially WWE wanted to call her Renee Sterling but Young didn’t really like that. They allowed her to submit a bunch of other name ideas and although she preferred Renee Ryan, they settled on Young. She wishes they would have allowed her to keep her real name, but she notes that there’s no point in worrying about that now.
