When Conor McGregor teased a possible WWE appearance
As news is abuzz with reports of WWE being up for sale and Stephanie McMahon’s having resigned, McGregor’s tweet is essentially a throwback to simpler times. While praising fellow Irish Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and former UFC champ Ronda Rousey, McGregor agreed that it’s a tough sport. True to himself, the 34-year-old then leaves a question, seemingly teasing, about how he would fare at WWE.
Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ.
Wow!
What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty!
Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do.
Or could I…— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 8, 2019
McGregor undoubtedly would have been a huge draw in the world of professional wrestling. His charisma and antics would have surely been a huge plus to WWE.
Conor McGregor’s history with the WWE
The Irishman has, on multiple occasions, called out on WWE athletes and the promotion itself. Although he has mentioned his respect for Vince McMahon, he clearly is not a fan of the current generation of wrestlers.

He even disregarded John Cena in one such instance. “What’s the main guy? John Cena, He’s 40. He’s 40 years of age. He’s walking around in a luminous orange T-shirt and a headband talking about nobody can see him. We can see him right there. He’s a big, fat, 40-year-old failed Mr. Olympia mo*******ker.”

I didn't mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans. What I meant to say was that I'd slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday's.
