Paige VanZant is embarking on a new career path.
The former UFC competitor has inked a deal with All Elite Wrestling, confirmed by the promotion’s president Tony Khan following VanZant’s appearance on “AEW Dynamite” on Wednesday evening.
She made a memorable entrance by signing her contract on Tay Conti’s backside.
VanZant shared on Twitter, “Wanted to give the world one more reason to hate on me: PVZ TAKING OVER!!!!,” in response to the revelation.
The 27-year-old VanZant surprised viewers by interrupting wrestler Tay Conti, leading to Guevara’s defeat in his match and loss of the TNT title to Sky.
VanZant left the UFC as a free agent in 2020 after a six-year stint where she achieved a record of 5-4. She then joined Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where her record stands at 0-2. In addition to her fighting career, she also competed on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2016 and boasts over 3 million followers on Instagram.
