I’m not sure about that 100%, but…I’ll talk to my manager and see what’s going to be, if its a good thing or not. I don’t know. Maybe it happens, maybe it’s not.”

Helwani asked if she would be interested if the deal was right, to which she said, “Yes, it would be great.”

After he asked her to confirm whether WWE has reached out, Cyborg said, “News coming soon.”
