Dana White has discussed the WWE and UFC relationship following the TKO merger.
On September 12, Endeavor announced the completion of the merger of WWE and UFC as the new sports and entertainment company called “TKO Group Holdings.”
The two companies still run as separate entities, but are now traded together on the stock market. Some have wondered if this has truly changed the relationship between the two.
Speaking at the UFC 295 post show press conference, UFC President Dana White was asked if there was any chance of cross promotional events between UFC and WWE. He answered:
“If there’s something there, like Ronda [Ronda Rousey] going over there, Brock [Brock Lesnar] coming over here, whether we were with them or not, if that was the case, we would do that stuff.”
“The relationship has been incredible. Vince [Vince McMahon] has been an amazing partner.”
“I’ve always liked Triple H and Stephanie [Stephanie McMahon]. We’re having a good time with those guys,”
When asked if there would ever be a Battle of the Billionaires match against Vince, White laughed and replied:
“It’s all over. We’re buddies now. We’re friends.”
Triple H recently opened up on working with Endeavor following the TKO merger, which you can read at this link.
