#2. More crossover between UFC and WWE

Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey may represent just the beginning of UFC-WWE crossover stars.

When Brock Lesnar returned to WWE from UFC, it looked like the next step in an ongoing beef between the two sides and the combat sports that they represented. After all, here was Lesnar, a former champion and top draw for UFC leaving MMA behind for the world of pro wrestling.

However, in Lesnar striking a deal to work a fight while under WWE contract, the iciness between the companies seemed to thaw. Moreover, when Ronda Rousey debuted at WrestleMania 34 with Dana White in the live audience cheering her on, it seemed like an acknowledgment of the degree to which these two worlds could not only coexist, but actively partner with one another.

If Cyborg comes to WWE for a match, it will mark the next step in these two brands and sports coming together. With teases of Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier also conceivably having WWE presences, Cyborg may well open the floodgates of cross-promotion.
