AEW star and former UFC fighter Paige VanZant has not appeared in Tony Khan's promotion since making her in-ring debut at Double Or Nothing 2022.
According to a report from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, VanZant has now seemingly 'disappeared from all talk.' Despite being highly impressive in her training.
VanZant teamed up with Scorpio Sky and Ethan page in her in-ring debut for a six-person tag team match against Sammy Guevera, Frankie Kazarian, and Tay Conti.
"Paige VanZant, who has disappeared from all talk, was a subject asked about to her wrestling trainer, David “Gangrel” Heath. He said, “Yes, I did [train her] 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. 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," wrote Meltzer. [H/T: Wrestletalk]
