WWE News: UFC legend Cris Cyborg spotted at WWE Performance Center

What's the story?

UFC legend, and long-term rival of Ronda Rousey, Cris Cyborg was spotted at the WWE Performance Center today.

Having previously commented on Rousey's move to WWE and even challenged Becky Lynch to a match, this is a very interesting development - especially given WWE's track record of signing UFC stars.

In case you didn't know...

Back in March 2018, ahead of Ronda Rousey's WWE debut, Cris Cyborg was asked by TMZ about the RAW Women's Champion's career switch and the likelihood of a clash between the pair - either in the Octagon or the squared circle.

Cyborg didn't mince her words. She said she doesn't watch WWE but said she respected Rousey's decision to leave and hinted that she may one day join Rousey in WWE to face Ronda Rousey - if only in a one-time deal.

However, things seem to change when Cyborg let slip that she does indeed now watch WWE, when UFC star has weighed in on the Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch - "the match that never was" - taking to Twitter to back Becky Lynch, using the SmackDown Women's Champion's moniker of "The Man" while sharing the clip of Lynch using the Dis-Arm-Her on Rousey. Cyborg would also have a war of words with Lynch, which WWE would cover.
