10 Wrestlers Paige VanZant MUST Face In AEW
5. Legit Leyla Hirsch
Someone with a legitimate wrestling background taking on someone with a legit MMA background. What more could you ask for?
Leyla Hirsch came out of nowhere over the last few years, really making a name for herself on the independent scene before being snapped up by AEW. After making sporadic appearances, she aligned herself with Kris Statlander and Velvet Sky before turning on the pair and this is allowing her to show her skills off to a wider audience on Dynamite and Rampage.
With this background and finally having a chance to shine a match against Paige VanZant might just be what the women's division needs. MMA and amateur wrestling are similar in a lot of ways, with mat skills, takedowns, strikes and submission skills being key features of both, this match is sure to be the talk of the wrestling world.
