Paige VanZant To Make In-Ring Debut At AEW Double Or Nothing
Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant will make her pro wrestling debut at Sunday's AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
It was announced on Friday's Rampage that VanZant, TNT Champion Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page will wrestle Tay Conti, Sammy Guevara & Frankie Kazarian in a six-person match at the PPV. As per the stipulation, if Page, Scorpio and Van Zant win on Sunday, Guevara and Kazarian can never again challenge for the TNT Title.
VanZant signed with AEW earlier this year after making several appearances with the company since September 2021. We noted earlier how she has been training with Gangrel at the Coastal Championship Wrestling (CCW) training facility in Florida. Over the past few months, VanZant has shared several videos on social media showing her progress in the squared circle. In the latest video, VanZant was seen practicing the Michinoku Driver, gutwrench suplexes, and a version of Gangrel's Impaler DDT. She also appeared to have mastered quick arm drags and handspring elbow drops.
