Pro Wrestling

MMA fighters dipping their toes into the pro wrestling world is not new. We have seen that with the likes of Matt Riddle, Tom Lawlor, Ronda Rousey, Dan Severn and most recently Cain Velasquez. In fact, there have been rumors for months going around that WWE was in talks with Cyborg. Maybe that is why Rousey took a break from the pro wrestling world.

While it may not be easy, Cyborg’s transition into pro wrestling would be a fun experience for her. A pro wrestling fan herself, Cyborg and Becky Lynch have had exchanges recently trying to promote a match with one another. Her role could be like NXT’s Shayna Baszler; a complete badass who dominates her opponents.

With the way the wrestling industry is today, WWE is not the only option. Cyborg can hone her craft on the independent scene, even if she went overseas. She could also join female promotions like Stardom and Shimmer before making her way around the circuit. AEW is always ready and willing to grab top stars, and she may want to try something new.
