WWE wants VanZant for Summer Slam
Now it seems that the WWE might want something in return for allowing Lesnar to compete and could have their eyes set on women’s star Paige VanZant.
With the recent announcement that Brock Lesnar will return to the UFC while still under contract with the WWE could lead you to believe that the two organizations are speaking and somewhat working together under certain terms.
Brock Lesnar will fight Mark Hunt at UFC 200 under a one-fight contract and then return to the WWE.
Now it seems that the WWE might want something in return for allowing Lesnar to compete and could have their eyes set on women’s star Paige VanZant:
Paige VanZant is currently in preliminary talks with the WWE about making an appearance at this year’s SummerSlam event on Aug. 21 in New York.
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.
