WWE News: Cris Cyborg Demanded a Match Against Becky Lynch at Summerslam 1

The altercation between UFC superstar, Cris Cyborg, and Becky Lynch had started a couple of weeks ago when the former one called her out for a fight at Summerslam.

Being a true fighter of WWE’s very own. Irish Lass-kicker, Becky Lynch did not back down from the challenge and accepted it, right away. This kept on the speculation ongoing for this upcoming dream match between these two.

The chances of this bout got even bigger following the UFC 214 PPV, when Cris Cyborg, once again demanded a match against the Irish Lass-kicker of the WWE. During the PPV she emerged as the winner in her bout with Tonya Evinger and hence was able to walk out with the championship around her shoulder.

This led her to challenge Becky Lynch to a singles competition at the Summerslam PPV. She took her Twitter handle to put a request to the WWE COO, Triple H so that this match can be made official. Till now we have not heard from him whether this going down or not.

This year, Summerslam is going down on August 20th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. This will mark the 30th anniversary of the event and hence we can definitely expect the unexpected. This match would be something really surprising to see since it will feature two athletes from different genres.

Although nothing is official, as of now, Becky Lynch was quick enough to respond to the coveted MMA fighter, Cris Cyborg while accepting her challenge on the same social media platform. This kept on the rumour mill going with the possibilities of seeing another dream match at the biggest PPV of the summer.

We should keep in mind that this is a cross-brand match and both the WWE and UFC promotions would have to agree with terms in order to make this happen. The owner of UFC, Dana White has also not spoken a word in this issue whether he would allow Cyborg to perform in a squared circle, or not. Hopefully, we will get an official update on this scenario in the near future.
