Prior to her AEW debut, Paige VanZant was training with WWE legend Gangrel.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “In The Weeds” podcast, Gangrel revealed that VanZant recently contacted him again about the possibility of coming back to train.
VanZant hasn’t been seen in a wrestling ring since the AEW Double or Nothing 2022 pay-per-view event.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On VanZant contacting him again: “You haven’t seen her and I haven’t seen her. [laughs] I think she broke her foot. She did that match, I was there that weekend because I did something with the Young Bucks for AEW. Came home, she said she was going to come review the match, and I didn’t see her. I haven’t seen her. A week ago, she wrote me saying she wanted to come back and start training, but I haven’t heard back from her. I said, ‘I’m here, I’ve been here the whole time.’”
On VanZant’s potential: “She had a lot of potential. She seemed to like it. She picked it up naturally. I don’t know what happened to her. It’s a crazy world, they make so much money on these OnlyFans, they can cash in on that instead of getting out there and grind. I don’t know. She did write me saying she wanted to comeback and train. She had a lot of potential and if she would have trained steady at it, like you do anything in life, she could have been very successful.”
