6 Ways To Work Paige VanZant Into WWE Programming

4. Mix It Up With Stephanie McMahon

Just over a year ago now, Stephanie McMahon came face to face with the biggest star in the UFC at the time: Ronda Rousey.

Arguably, Rousey was the biggest news coming out of WrestleMania 31, where the two squared off. Right up until this years events, fans went notes with speculation that Rousey would return - but to date, it hasn't happened. Given that Rousey lost her belt to Holly Holm last November, it may not for a while.

However, that doesn't mean that Steph should stop clashing with female fighters on loan from the UFC. Paige's cutesy-pie good looks, UFC pedigree, and star status makes her the perfect foil to the dictator-like authority figure Steph has become in WWE (even if she supposedly plays nice with Shane from time to time).

As far as storylines go, this is another easy option. Have Paige come in, have Steph act like she's a big fan, only to get offended by sometime, then have Paige choke her out. It could end on a similar note to the Rousey confrontation, but this time, it would be nice to see the WWE ensure the angle really pays off.
