Gangrel teases female MMA star will sign with WWE or AEW soon

WWE legend Gangrel recently spoke about AEW star Paige VanZant and another former female MMA star. He is impressed with their progress as they transition into the wrestling business.

Gangrel is currently training the former UFC star at his wrestling school. The veteran spoke glowingly about VanZant and her ability to adapt to pro wrestling. That being said, he claimed that there is another student with an MMA background who is even better.

Speaking on Wrestling Inc Daily, Gangrel stated that he cannot reveal her name just yet because she still needs to get out of her current contract. Still, the former WWE star believes that she will be signed by a big promotion very soon.

"I don’t think I can mention her name yet, until she gets out of the contract she’s in right now. But she definitely looks like she’ll be popping up somewhere, one of the big companies soon," Gangrel said. [H/t Wrestling Inc.]

AEW star Paige VanZant has impressed Gangrel

In the same interview, the former WWE Superstar shared how impressed he was with VanZant. He also predicted that the newcomer will do well in All Elite Wrestling.

“I think she’s taken to it well, she’s extremely athletic,” he said. “She’s a gymnast, a ballerina, and heck, anybody that can place second, runner-up on Dancing With The Stars has got to be coachable. Plus she’s a fighter, a bare-knuckle fighter. So, she’s tough, she’s pretty, she’s agile, and she can flip. I think she’s going to do just fine in AEW.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

VanZant has been very impressive so far in AEW in the brief appearances she has made. The former MMA fighter seemingly has a match with Tay Conti looming on the horizon.
