Paige VanZant at SummerSlam 2016? WWE courting UFC star for pro wrestling appearance

Paige VanZant's star just keeps getting brighter, as FOX Sports brings word that World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is looking to acquire her services for an appearance at the upcoming SummerSlam event, which is slated to go down on Aug. 21, 2016 in New York.

According to her manager Mike Roberts of MMA Inc., WWE has reached out about having "12 Gauge" take part in the annual extravaganza, though no further details were given. Paige is coming off an excellent run on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," coming in second place despite earning countless perfect scores and pretty much dancing everyone off the floor.
