In the open letter, Renee Young shared her thoughts on Vince McMahon, Stephanie & Triple H and discussed what projects she will move onto next. While talking about her departure, Renee Young claimed that “it was time” for her to leave. She said that she had been in WWE for almost eight years, which is why she wants to pursue other avenues now. She also added that she has some ideas about what she will do next, but at this stage, they are just ideas and nothing is set in stone.

"And then as far as why I’m leaving…… it’s about as simple as it gets: It was time. Eight years doing anything is a while. But eight years in a business like ours???? It’s a lifetime. And you only get so many lifetimes, right? So I’m going to try a few new things, give them a fair shot, hope they give me the same, and we’ll see."

Renee Young first talked about Vince McMahon and thanked the WWE CEO for everything. She claimed that she doesn’t want to write much about Vince McMahon as ‘a lot of ink has been spilt about the legend of Vince McMahon over the years’. She stated that whenever she would do something, she would look for Vince McMahon’s reaction as getting approval from the boss is very rare and his reaction meant a lot to her. “If Vince gives you a laugh? Or a smile and a “good job”? Or a handshake and a NOD OF APPROVAL?! Man, right then, it’s like nothing else in the entire world matters. You’re king for a day,” Renee Young added.

"Hunter, to me — he represents this idea of progress in WWE. He’s always pushing talent in the direction of opportunity, and in the direction of something new,” Renee Young added.
