Paige VanZant is “All Elite.”
The former UFC fighter made her presence known on the March 9 episode of AEW Dynamite. She was sitting at ringside for the main event TNT Championship bout between Sammy Guevara and Scorpio Sky. VanZant first distracted and later attacked Tay Conti, who came to ringside to support Guevara. Her interference ultimately helped Sky win the gold.
After the match, VanZant kept beating up Conti before she officially signed her AEW contract.

Lambert previously stated that VanZant would sign with AEW in exchange for Sky’s title shot, but she didn’t put pen to paper until Wednesday night. Company president Tony Khan confirmed the news by tweeting the “All Elite” graphic for the impressive fighter.

VanZant appeared on AEW Dynamite during the Inner Circle’s feud with ATT leading into the Full Gear pay-per-view last fall. She returned to the show and brawled with Brandi Rhodes on the February 2 episode of AEW Dynamite.
The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship competitor is also known for her impressive run on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2016.
