Ex-UFC stunner Paige VanZant leaves little to imagination in revealing bikini as she confirms AEW return
PAIGE VANZANT left little to the imagination as she confirmed her plans to return to the wrestling ring.
The former UFC flyweight made her wrestling debut at All Elite Wrestling: Double or Nothing in May, teaming up with Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky to defeat Frankie Kazarian, Sammy Guevara and ex-WWE ace Tay Conti in a mixed tag-team match.
VanZant took a break from wrestling to prepare for her return to bare-knuckle boxing – which ended up being scrapped.
But she plans to be back in the ring in the near future, although she’s not sure when.
The MMA fighter sizzled in a tight and revealing bikini during an impromptu Instagram Q&A, in which she said: “Absolutely [I] will be [back] in AEW.”
“But I don’t have any news on when yet. So stay tuned.”

VanZant, 28, loves the world of professional wrestling just as much as she does combat sports.
She told The Schmo: “It feels amazing. You know, everybody keeps asking me when I’m gonna pick a lane.
“I don’t have to. I’m gonna be good at absolutely everything I do.
“I got my next bare-knuckle boxing match coming up in London on July 16.

“I knew that this was the only place I wanted to make my AEW debut. It had to be big and it had to be on pay-per-view.
“I am a pay-per-view person. They’ve got to pay me the pay-per-view dollars to show up. I hope [you see me wrestling again] soon.
“I came out of this match unscathed and I have zero injuries. I put on a dominant performance. I can’t wait for my solo match.”
Despite being an AEW regular and competing in bare-knuckle boxing, VanZant hasn’t completely closed the door on a return to mixed martial arts.
