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 received a verbal berating from Le Champion during Saturday's Dynamite.
We've yet to see Paige step into the ring, but it feels like AEW has big plans for the MMA fighter.
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 noted, Jericho recently took aim at VanZant, but something tells us he could live to regret that when the Inner Circle takes on American Top Team at AEW Full Gear next month. We'd be shocked if Paige doesn't factor into the match in some way, but for now, she continues grabbing our attention on Instagram.
This latest round of photos left our jaw on the floor, and we think you'll appreciate checking these out!
