With news of the WWE and the UFC working together on the Brock Lesnar return to UFC 200, many fans have speculated that the WWE would ask the UFC to return the favor and allow some of their talent to appear on one of their big shows. It appears that Paige VanZant could be that favor.
According to a report from PWInsider, UFC fighter Paige VanZant has been contacted by the WWE for an appearance at Summerslam on August 21st 2016. Paige competes in the UFC’s Strawweight division and is coming off a loss to Rose Namajunas back in late 2015. She made her name on the main stream these past couple weeks finishing as the runner up on the latest season of Dancing With The Stars. She is also filming a new movie titled Kickboxer Retaliation.
We don’t know yet if she will appear at the event but they are in initial talks.
If this happens it further opens doors for a working relationship between the UFC and the WWE moving forward. Let us know what you think about Paige VanZant possibly heading to the WWE for Summerslam in the comment section below!
