While speaking on WFAN Sports Radio, Paige VanZant talked about making her way to pro wrestling. The former UFC star then explained why she decided to sign with AEW in the first place.

The whole show [is what drew me into wrestling], you know? I mean, I’ve been asked about pro wrestling for a really long time. I’ve kind of always known it was gonna be part of my journey and my life. I just didn’t know when the opportunity was gonna take off, and it got to a point where I showed up with Dan [Lambert] and the story took off and I realized I wanted to be a part of the show, I wanted to continue this journey with AEW and ended up signing a contract.”
