MMA fighter Dillon Danis stirred up speculation with a photo he shared on Instagram. The post is featuring WWE legend, Paul Levesque, famously known as Triple H.

Danis, who has been seen training with Alex Pereira recently, posted the photo before SmackDown at Madison Square Garden. Hinting at a potential connection to the WWE. While an article from ringsidenews.com suggests that Danis will be present at the SmackDown event, there is no confirmation about his involvement in any storylines.

The caption, “negotiations,” led fans to wonder if there is more to the encounter than a simple photo opportunity. However, fans weren’t eager to accept the news as fact due to their previous experiences with Danis online.
