From her time in WWE and Jon Moxley's AEW run, Renee Paquette understands the inner workings of both companies and how they present their respective products.

Paquette believes there are clear differences between both wrestling promotions, though, particularly when it comes to storytelling.

When discussing Jon Moxley's ongoing feud with Lance Archer on Oral Sessions, Paquette said: "It's so layered and so intriguing. There's really so much to sink your teeth into as a wrestling fan. There are so many deep roots that make the storytelling fun and engaging to watch. That's something you don't get to see in WWE.

"They [AEW] don't treat their fans stupid, in terms of not knowing what this is and we're going to beat you over the head to make sure you understand it. I understand the reasoning of why they [WWE] do that obviously, but I think with smart fans, and the way that people have access to looking into information that they might not know and being able to connect the dots themselves, I think that there's something really cool about that that people like to have that sense of discovery, rather than being talked to like they don't understand."
