And she finally competed inside the squared-circle at the “Double or Nothing” pay-per-view at the T-Mobile in Las Vegas.
The fighter teamed up with duo Men of the Year, Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky, to defeat Frankie Kazarian, Sammy Guevara and ex-WWE ace Tay Conti in a mixed tag-team match.
And fans were left impressed by her performance afterwards as they took to social media afterwards.

While a fellow viewer commented: “So Paige VanZant is really really good at wrestling.”
VanZant seemed to have enjoyed herself, telling “The Schmo” podcast: “It feels amazing. You know, everybody keeps asking me when I’m gonna pick a lane.
“I don’t have to. I’m gonna be good at absolutely everything I do. I got my next bare-knuckle boxing match coming up in London on July 16.”

She added: “I knew that this was the only place I wanted to make my AEW debut. It had to be big and it had to be on pay-per-view.
“I am a pay-per-view person. They’ve got to pay me the pay-per-view dollars to show up. I hope [you see me wrestling again] soon.
“I came out of this match unscathed and I have zero injuries. I put on a dominant performance. I can’t wait for my solo match.”
