4. All Elite Wrestling (AEW)

If Cyborg is interested in pursuing a career in pro wrestling, AEW is a viable option.

She has expressed interest in the promotion's events in the past, like their pay-per-view Double or Nothing, which took place this past May. Moreover, the former UFC featherweight queen has also appeared at Starrcast, which is a fan convention that happens in conjunction with All Elite's major cards. These factors suggest that Cyborg could be open to doing business with the upstart wrestling promotion.

With AEW about to make their cable television debut, signing a big name like Cyborg would certainly help generate a good deal of buzz. On the one hand, the promotion doesn't have household names like Becky Lynch or Ronda Rousey. Of course, Cyborg would likely be the focal point of AEW's women's division and not have to share the spotlight with established WWE stars. Plus, the organization is backed by billionaire NFL owner Shahid Kahn, so they can offer the former MMA star the type of lucrative deal she's looking for.

AEW makes for an interesting dark horse contender in the battle for Cris Cyborg's services.
