Paige VanZant’s Next Career Move Announced

Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant looked to have everything needed for a successful career in pro wrestling due to her athleticism, toughness, and charisma. However, after only wrestling one match for AEW, she began skipping her training sessions with former WWE star Gangrel, and it was recently confirmed that she had departed the company. And now, just weeks after she struggled to a split decision draw with adult actress Elle Brooke in a boxing match, it has been announced on social media that she is set to compete in Power Slap on June 28.

For those unaware, UFC chief executive officer Dana White owns Power Slap, and it originally aired on TBS following AEW Dynamite. Yet because it couldn’t keep wrestling fans from tuning out, it would soon be canceled and now airs on the streaming platform Rumble. Yet despite being so readily available, it still struggles to do significant numbers, as even combat sports fans find it too brutal, with neurologist Nikolas Evangelou calling it a “ recipe for disaster. “
