Like millions around the world, WWE star Grayson Waller is also a fan of UFC superstar Conor McGregor. He recently detailed how McGregor has inspired him with his ability to attract audiences to his fights. Waller believes that huge opportunities are waiting for ‘The Notorious’ in WWE. He understands that the Irishman has mentioned that he is not interested in wrestling. However, Waller predicts that McGregor will find his way to WWE, as there is too much money involved in the business.
‘The Notorious’ was happy about the world’s biggest MMA promotion and wrestling promotion coming under the same umbrella. Followed by the merger, he also asked the fans to wait for great things in the future. Now Waller has reinforced that McGregor will eventually be a part of WWE. However, he understands that the Irishman is involved in various businesses outside of combat sports. Hence, he suggests that McGregor can follow in the footsteps of the internet-sensation Logan Paul.

WWE star Grayson Waller sat with MMA Hour’s Ariel Helwani. During the interview, he talked about his love for MMA and his love for fighters like Chael Sonnen and Conor McGregor. Talking about McGregor, Waller stated, “I think Conor is gonna find his way to WWE in some way. There’s too much money to be made and you know, you could only fight for so long. And he’s another guy who has so much happening in his life. It’s hard to commit a hundred percent to the fight game but for wrestling, there’s people that do it part-time.“

Talking further on the same topic, Waller mentioned how McGregor can work similarly to Logan Paul. He added, “Look at Logan Paul. Logan Paul is a part-time guy, but he’s really really good at what he does and he’s great to watch. He’s making waves. He’s wrestling in WrestleManias and I think Conor could do the exact same.” Logan Paul became popular as a social-media sensation and then reached WWE, where he became highly successful within a very short time. Paul’s WWE debut was in April 2021, and he made many turn their heads towards him with his captivating moves.
