Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant was Craig and Evan’s WAG Wednesday guest this week, and during her fighting career, she experienced fellow celebrities hit on her frequently before and after fights.
Of course, that drastically changed once she married MMA fighter Austin Vanderford.
“Oh, all the time, before I met my husband,” VanZant said of the attention she would get from celebrities. “After I got married, none. I guess they know better.”
Judging by the change in her social media following after she tied the knot, a lot of hopefuls certainly seemed to know better than to shoot their shot with a woman married to a professional brawler.
“I can’t do that. I can’t give away the secrets,” VanZant said when asked who specifically would slide into her DMs. “But yeah, once I got married, I had about 12,000 people unfollow me in one day.”
It wasn’t always compliments sent VanZant’s way. Now with AEW, VanZant heard some intense trash talk from Chris Jericho, after she responded with a “you wish” after Jericho asked if she would slide into his DMs. Jericho’s response was an insulting one, replying, “Well, I wouldn’t worry about it. I wouldn’t even touch you with your husband’s genitalia.”
VanZant said she hasn’t forgotten that one, and won’t any time soon.
“That story’s not over,” VanZant said. “He’s got it coming for what he said.”
