“I get asked about WWE a lot,” VanZant said. “I think it would be something I’d be very good at. Because I have the best of both worlds. I was a Dancer, I used to like the entertainment and showmanship side of it… and then the combat sports world, obviously goes into the WWE. But I don’t know that it’s something I could do, both at the same time.

“I feel like I would want to do that 100 percent. So maybe it’s something that after I’m done fighting in a cage and in a ring, that kind of stuff, maybe I’ll go over to there. But we’ll see, the door’s definitely open.”

VanZant said that she and the WWE have been in contact with each other and she would pursue a career once she finds more free time in her schedule.

“There is definitely a path. And communication is actually there sometimes, so we’re able to communicate and show our interests with each other,” she added. “Once there’s a little more free time in my schedule, I think that’s something I would really like to pursue.”

VanZant is scheduled to make her Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut on February 5, 2021 against Britain Hart in the main event of BKFC 16 in Tampa, Florida.

    Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
