10 Wrestlers Paige VanZant MUST Face In AEW
8. Serena Deeb
From Hikaru Shida, we move on to her long-term opponent Serena Deeb. As a legend deserving all the praise in the world, Deeb is a submission machine who is also a coach backstage at AEW. Who else could put on a great submission match with Paige?
With Paige VanZant's background in MMA and Deeb being one of the best submission specialists in the entire industry, the two could build up to a submission match.
It's going to take VanZant a while to beat someone like Deeb, which will make it even better when she does. Unlike with Jade Cargillm having VanZant build herself up and taking losses that she will win back once she has learned her opponent's weaknesses will endear her more to the AEW faithful. Wrestling crowds might be sick of seeing ex-MMA fighters coming in and destroying the credibility of an entire division so going this way might be more interesting in the long run.
