While VanZant had been in talks with WWE, the deal between the two parties was not closed. She ended up making several appearances for AEW and recently AEW President Tony Khan had also dropped some hints on her signing. In a Tweet he had said:

“Knowing Dan Lambert I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him, so you won’t see a @paigevanzant is All Elite graphic or any confirmation of an agreement until something is signed, because I won’t rely on a Dan Lambert promise.”
