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.

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.
