Paige VanZant To Sign With AEW – Ahead of tonight’s AEW Rampage, Tony Khan announced on Twitter that former UFC fighter Paige VanZant will sign a contract with All Elite Wrestling on Wednesday.
In a follow-up to his tweet, Khan noted that the new signee won’t be getting the “All Elite” graphic or any confirmation of her deal until it’s officially signed because he doesn’t trust her associate, Dan Lambert.
During AEW Rampage, Lambert noted that VanZant’s signing was in exchange for Sky’s title shot; he stated that he’ll bring the American Top Team member to Revolution so she can sign her contract.
VanZant has appeared on AEW Dynamite a few times; she was involved with American Top Team’s feud with the Inner Circle leading into AEW Full Gear. She also attacked Brandi Rhodes on the February 2 episode of AEW Dynamite. Rhodes subsequently left the company, so it’s unclear how VanZant will begin her official run with the company. In addition to her UFC career, VanZant has fought in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and competed on Dancing with the Stars.
Khan also announced that Scorpio Sky will challenge for the TNT Championship on the March 9 episode of AEW Dynamite. He noted that he offered Sky the seventh spot in the Face of the Revolution ladder match, but Lambert negotiated and got Sky a title match instead. Sammy Guevara retained his TNT Championship on the March 4 episode of Rampage, so he’ll put it on the line against Sky on Friday.
