Paige VanZant found great success in UFC, and it looked like she could be on the way to WWE. Instead, we've seen her appear on AEW shows in recent months, starting with the September 15 episode of AEW Dynamite as part of American Top Team. Since then, she's taken aim at Chris Jericho and even made it clear she wanted to step into the ring with Le Champion.
Unfortunately, that hasn't happened yet, though fans are hoping it will sooner rather than later. In a recent Instagram post, Paige even teased: "Wrestled today, didn’t take a picture. Here’s some pics of me looking like a h** instead. Yolo." Clearly, the MMA star's training is continuing.
She last competed back in July and has talked about her interest in joining Bellator MMA in the not too distant future. We know that's something AEW President Tony Khan wouldn't have an issue with as Jack Hager (Jack Swagger in WWE) regularly competes for that promotion outside his AEW commitments. VanZant is definitely someone who could shake up this company's women's division!
As always, we'll keep you updated as we learn more, but these new Instagram photos...well, suffice to say we're definitely thankful for VanZant's continued presence on social media!
