Multiple sources, including FoxSports.com, are reporting that WWE is apparently interested in bringing in UFC strawweight fighter Paige VanZant for some kind of role for August’s SummerSlam event in Brooklyn, New York. FOX Sports has reported the following:
“VanZant’s manager, Mike Roberts of MMA Inc., confirmed to FOX Sports on Monday that WWE has reached out to inquire about the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ runner-up appearing ‘in some capacity’ at the annual event. There’s no word what kind of role VanZant might have at SummerSlam, but the WWE has spoken to her management team about her possible appearance at the event.”
It’s being said that because of Lesnar being allowed to fight at UFC 200, UFC might allow WWE to use one of their fighters.
