When AEW signed former UFC star Paige VanZant, they hoped to get some crossover appeal.
She made her in-ring debut at AEW Double or Nothing 2022 in May but hasn’t been seen on AEW TV since then. Instead, she is focusing on her fighting and modeling career.
Her trainer Gangrel told K&S WrestleFest that VanZant’s training has seemingly come to a halt:
“Yes, I did [train VanZant] for a little while there. She did well; she didn’t train as much as I would have liked for her to train, but I haven’t seen her since that match,” said Gangrel. “She did that match, she wrote me, and said, ‘Hey, I’d like to go over the match with you and some critique.’ And I said, ‘Sure,’ and that’s the last I heard from her. She’s an athlete. She could have been really, really good at it actually.”
VanZant was scheduled to fight Charis Sigala in August for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship but was pulled from the bout.
