What’s the story?
Cris Cyborg recently used a fan-made poster to challenge Becky Lynch to a match at Summerslam, and the Irish Lass Kicker was quick to retort.
In case you didn't know...
Cyborg is a former Strikeforce and Invicta FC Women’s Featherweight Champion who currently competes in the UFC. Although she’s had certain issues with various promoters, the Brazilian mixed martial artist hasn’t tasted defeat in almost twelve years.
The heart of the matter
Cyborg and Lynch had a rather lengthy back and forth on Twitter; in fact, they even mentioned Triple H and Dana White during their exchange. While this was nothing more than playful banter, it appears that the worlds of mixed martial arts and professional wrestling are more willing to cross over than ever.
What's next?
Cyborg has an iron clad contract with UFC, and she can’t make an appearance at Summerslam without her employer’s permission. She also doesn’t have a recognised professional wrestling background, so it’s practically impossible for her to have a meaningful match with Lynch.
Author’s take
Becky Lynch and Cyborg are two talented performers who are the top of their respective professions. They might never have a professional wrestling match, but both of these women have a lot to offer the world of combat sports.
