Redmond hosts for both the NHL and WWE.

Jackie Redmond is a backstage interviewer, correspondent and show host for WWE. In addition to that, she is a host and interviewer for the NHL. 

While guest appearing on Gabby AF, she opened up about her future and what she envisions it looking like. On the wrestling front, Redmond hopes she can stick around in WWE for a little longer.

And then for wrestling, like I said, I didn’t seek it out and I don’t mean that as a negative thing. I wasn’t looking for it. It kind of found me and I think the universe works in mysterious ways and I think I needed it. I needed that sort of spark and so now I’m kind of like, well what can I do in WWE? I’m doing the Countdown shows which I love, the sit-down interviews which I love. But I do think there’s probably room to grow and push myself to do more and so I’m trying to figure out what that is. But I’m very happy with where I’m at. But I hope, I hope I can stick around in WWE for a little bit longer. Hopefully. If the fans will have me.

Redmond was not a part of the 11/11 Monday Night Raw. She explained that after traveling to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel and handling her duties in that space on top of her NHL commitments, she could feel burnout coming and needed to take time off.

I am really good. I actually have this week off. I have learned over the course of my career to take care of my mental health and know — I can tell now when burnout is coming and so I strategically plan, kind of, when I’m gonna take a day here or a day there so I wasn’t on Raw this week for that reason. I knew coming off of Saudi Arabia, I would be fried and I did a hockey game right afterwards so I’m glad I took the time. I’m really good right now. I’ve slept in my own bed like five nights in a row which is outrageous for me…

Redmond hails from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and WWE is heading there in March 2025 for Elimination Chamber.
