Earlier this year, UFC Star Paige VanZant was asked about a potential WWE career, she said that she would love the opportunity to work with them.
Below is what she said:
“It’s just another platform for us UFC fighters to make a name for ourselves. I know Ronda is going to do awesome at it, and she’s going to make a name for herself in the WWE.
I’m a fighter first and foremost, but if the opportunity ever came knocking, I’m not one to turn opportunities down. I think it’s an amazing organization, and I’d definitely love to work with them.”
Prior to that she also spoke to TMZ about whether or not she would be interested in working with the WWE.
She said:
“Yes. That is definitely something that I’m interested in. I love the WWE. I think that I would for sure be a good WWE Diva. We’ll see if that opportunity comes. I would definitely go for it, if they come knocking on my door, I’m taking it. I love WWE, I would love it. I have the personality for it. Yeah, when the time is right.”
Paige VanZant was also mentioned in the The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, and it was stated that her name has been brought up in WWE once again.
In a recent interview with MMA Weekly, she continued to speak openly about a potential future career with WWE.
“I’m not ready to leave the UFC just yet. I love being a professional fighter and I still have a long career ahead of me. I also think the WWE is an amazing organization and it’s a very athletic entertainment industry which would suit me. There’s probably a huge potential for a crossover down the line and, of course, I’m a big fan of what they do, so it would be great to be a part of that.”
