In her latest column for the Calgary Sun, Natalya gave thanks to Renee for her contributions. 

"Maybe her most important role in WWE has been the fact that she’s been a huge force in our Women’s Evolution. Renee was the first female to ever commentate in Saudi Arabia. She helped guide me so much on my first match in Saudi Arabia and didn’t need to be in the ring with me to give me the confidence I needed to believe in myself. She was there with me in the unsung quiet moments when no one was around, guiding me with her “Renee Wisdom” that only she could give," wrote Natalya.
