#2 Cris Cyborg

Cyborg has been open about transitioning into professional wrestling in the past

WWE has seen former female UFC fighters transition over to the world of sports entertainment in the past. Former UFC fighters such as Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke have all seen success in WWE since becoming WWE Superstars.

Cris Cyborg has been very vocal in the past about possibly appearing inside of a WWE ring. In fact, the former UFC Women's Featherweight Champion even visited the WWE Performance Center in June 2019, sparking rumours that the former UFC fighter could be headed to WWE in the near future.

UFC Champion and future WWE Superstar?

Cris Cyborg has also teased a professional wrestling cross over from mixed martial arts in several interviews also. In a 2019 interview, the former UFC fighter admitted that she was interested in signing for both WWE and AEW:

“I love both AEW and WWE and the fans of professional wrestling are always stopping me in the street asking me when I am going to have a wrestling match, If the opportunity presents itself, and the deal makes sense, I would love to challenge myself with pro wrestling."

Im still down with team @WWEAsuka 🤙🏽

Given that major current female WWE Superstars Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey are on all hiatus from WWE for several reasons, could the promotion look to bring in an established name from the world of MMA and UFC such as Cris Cyborg to add to their women's division?
