Conor McGregor proved to everyone once again why he is the UFC’s cash cow following his victory over Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 to become the lightweight champion. He has been often linked to the WWE and the Royal Rumble could be the perfect stage to see him in the ring.
Appearance is one thing but seeing 29 other men likely wanting a piece of him is another. Everyone knows his celebrated jab at the WWE stars, one that drew violent reactions. Then again, he could use his skill and avoid the mayhem and do what he does best – entertain.
All that is a fantasy for now but with Conor McGregor’s agent (Audi Attar) welcoming talks of a possible WWE stint, seeing the Irishman in the WWE ring could be possible. That is unless Dana White comes forward to nix such from happening.
Conor McGregor will certainly be welcome. WWE COO Triple H witnessed his UFC 205 performance plus the antics he has been doing. That said, McGregor is someone who could easily fit in with the WWE even if he is at a distinct weight disadvantage.
Nevertheless, Triple H believes that weight will not be a problem, the Daily Mail reported. He adds that the WWE has stars who weigh only 200 lbs. and are certified stars.
But how does this fit in with the fact that McGregor may have made a lot of enemies following the ‘pansies’ remarks directed to the WWE? From the looks of it, McGregor’s beef with other stars will not be much of a problem with the company standing by him for racking in revenue.
As far as settling the heat, on-screen manager Paul Heyman believes that unless current WWE stars can prove they are better draws and money-makers, most will be left with no recourse but to get used to the brash-talking Irishman in the event he does sign up, Yahoo reported.
For now, seeing Conor McGregor in the WWE remains a fantasy. But with the right contract and money on the table, the fantasy could become a reality soon.
