One of the mainstream talents hired by AEW was Paige VanZant to pop a rating and gain attention on TV. She was touted to be in the same role that Ronda Rousey had previously done for the WWE coming off her UFC days. Paige’s involvement with Dan Lambert’s storylines on AEW television teased that her stint with the company will eventually be stretched but that wasn’t the case.
Previous reports confirmed that Paige VanZant was under a deal with the AEW while making her first AEW appearance in September 2021. At the time, it was unclear for how many matches, AEW had her under contract but she was quickly placed in Dan Lambert’s American Top Team stable. Apart from getting into in-ring action, she mostly just stood in the background as a valet for the team.

The final appearance of Paige VanZant for AEW came in May 2022 and hence, it’s almost been a year since she was seen on TV. This generates a lot of questions about her AEW career, what happened to her, and whether she will make a comeback. While the answer isn’t quite clear, it appears that she’s done with the company.

Paige VanZant is also dealing with a foot injury
Ringside News reached out to ask about the status of Paige VanZant in AEW and not even one source within the company had any idea why she wasn’t around anymore. The former UFC fighter has been dealing with a broken foot injury and that’s why she could be spotted wearing a boot in her recent bikini photos on social media. But that’s not the only reason that she’s sidelined from TV.
So, it’s safe to say that Paige VanZant has moved on from her AEW days and she’s having quite a fan while baring it all for her fanbase on OnlyFans. After all, this is the career choice that she had opted for instead of continuing in the professional wrestling industry.
Paige VanZant previously ghosted her pro wrestling training with old-school legend Gangrel. She just stopped working to be in shape for the squared circle. Now that Dan Lambert is no longer appearing on AEW television, her future appearances are also ruled out. Fans can rather stick to her social media handles to get new content from her.
