Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant recently spoke with Chris Van Vilet ahead of her Knuckle FC debut on February 5th.
When asked about the possibility of crossing over into pro-wrestling, VanZant revealed she has been in talks with WWE, and has visited the Performance Center in Orlando.
Chris Van Vilet sent the following quotes from the interview.
Paige VanZant was invited to visit the WWE Performance Center:
“Yes, I have visited their campus, the Performance Center in Orlando. I was able to go visit and look around and kind of get a sense for what it’s all about.”
She has been in communication with WWE:
“Communication is actually there sometimes so we’re able to communicate and show our interest with each other and once there’s a little bit more free time in my schedule I think that’s something that I would like to really pursue.”
Does she have any interest in working for WWE?
“I do. I get asked about WWE a lot and I do feel like it’s something I would be very good at because I kind of have the best of both worlds; I was a dancer where I was used to the entertainment and the showmanship side of it and the combat sports side obviously goes into the WWE. You know, I don’t think that it’s something that I could do both (Bare Knuckle FC and pro wrestling) at the same time. I feel like I would want to do that 100%, so maybe it’s something that after I’m done fighting in a cage and in a ring that maybe I’ll go over to there but the door is definitely open.”
