Move over Ronda Rousey, a new UFC star is coming to WWE.
WWE is the ultimate pantomime, there is no doubt about that.
We’ve seen match ups that we never thought possible whether it be Ronda Rousey teaming up with The Rock to knock the bejaysus out of Stephanie McMahon or Floyd Mayweather squaring up to the Big Show.
Who doesn’t love when the elite athletes from UFC and boxing come into sports entertainment world? It is truly a spectacle.
Well, it is looking likely that newly crowned women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg will be the next big name to appear in the WWE ring and it will be against Irish wrestler Becky Lynch if it is to happen.
Cyborg (real name Cristiane Santos) has been very active on social media in an effort to promote the unconfirmed bout which looks to be scheduled for Summerslam, one of WWE’s biggest events.

Summerslam is due to take place on 20 August but Cyborg has not appeared on WWE Smackdown thus far but with her recent victory over Tonya Evinger at UFC 214 means that her training schedules has no doubt cleared up meaning that there is more time for some sweet sweet sports entertainment.
