Paige VanZant has started her wrestling training and is doing well according to her coach.
VanZant signed with AEW on the March 9 episode of AEW Dynamite and recently started her training with Gangrel at Coast Championship Wrestling. Her training was delayed a week as she was sick, but now that she's healthy and training, Gangrel says she's picking things up fast.
"I've met her and had a couple of training sessions with her. She's definitely bad ass. She has a lot of talent. She's very coachable. She has a passion for it. AEW should be happy in the long run with what's going to go on with her. I don't know if they signed her for a year or what the deal was, but she definitely has a lot of potential, definitely has talent. She'll come along pretty well and pretty fast. What she's learned in two sessions, let's say three hours to be generous with those sessions, those three hours, it's taken me three months to teach some people with talent. Six months for others. The fact that she's a professional athlete and a ballerina. Dancing With The Stars is no joke. You have to be super disciplined and learn routines, dances, footwork, and form. All that comes into play. She's making my job easy. I appreciate that. Hopefully it continues to be easy, she goes on to do great things, and I can say, 'Oh, I had a part in that,'" Gangrel said on his Fangin N Bangin podcast.
It is unknown when VanZant will make her in-ring debut, but she is hopeful it will be in the next month or two. You can find her full comments regarding her potential debut and WWE wanting her to sign an exclusive contract by clicking here.
