The association of WWE and UFC is not something new. It is the reason why we have seen Brock Lesnar performing in UFC fights despite being under the contract of the WWE. Apart from that, we have seen multiple appearances from Ronda Rousey in the WWE. In turn, these appearances always keep the fans drooling over some of the cross-brand matches.
Recently, a situation occurred that teased a possible matchup between the four-horsewomen of the WWE against the four-horsewomen of UFC promotion. A confrontation happened among the ladies during the Mae Young Classic tapings that earned huge fan reactions and furthermore, it teased of this dream match, at some point.
In case you don’t know, the ‘four-horsewomen’ was a faction from WWE NXT division that consisted Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Bayley before they emerged onto the main roster of the WWE. In UFC, they have a counterpart of the same faction namely Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke.

In WWE, we genuinely think these four ladies from the faction have paved the way for the ongoing Women’s Revolution, whereas, the other four did the same in the octagon. So, on paper, there can’t be a better scenario that will garner much attention from the fans.
According to the reports from Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is very high on this feud and is likely to arrange a program when the Mae Young Classic will inch to a close in September. It might lead to a match at either Survivor Series PPV or Wrestlemania 34, next year.

The confrontation between WWE and UFC female athletes had already taken place during the taping of the WWE Network special. But, not many fans are aware of the fact due the moment being untelevised. So, the source has stated that a bigger face-off might happen at the end of the Mae Young Classic fuelling up the program.
Shayna Baszler from the UFC faction is going to be one of the finalists in this tournament. Hence, her fellow ladies will accompany her on that live event in September. This should lead to yet another face-off among them. But, this time, it will be telecasted to get attentions from the pro-wrestling world which in turn, will help to make further hype up around the contest.
