WWE Star Guarantees Conor McGregor Will Come To WWE

There has always been a sort of curiosity factor regarding a potential WWE run for UFC star Conor McGregor. McGregor remains one of the biggest combat sports and has teased making the jump to WWE before.

Now, WWE star Sheamus has said he believes it is not a matter of if but rather when regarding McGregor joining WWE. Here is the quote from Sheamus’ interview with Digital Spy:

“He’s teased [coming to WWE] a couple of times. He’s still staying active, he’s a lad who’s won belts, he’s done a lot, so I think he’s that type of person who’s always trying to try his hand at something different. I think WWE would suit him down to the ground. You know, we’ve had a lot of people come in and out, [Floyd] Mayweather came in, a lot of celebrities have come in, a lot of sports people. So I don’t think anyone would raise eyebrows if he came in to WWE. I don’t think it’s if, I think it’s a matter of when to be honest. If he wants to come in there with me, that’s grand. He might get the fight of his life there, he might get couple of slaps he’s not used to.

But that’s what it’s all about, getting in there and seeing a different type of environment. In UFC you fight once a year or twice a year, in WWE we’re fighting every week. We’re taking big bumps every week, the physicality we go through is crazy. It’s a different world we’re in, I think it’s definitely more competitive, it’s definitely more physical. It takes more edge being in WWE than it does doing the UFC stuff. I’ll probably get slated online for saying that but until you actually do our schedule you don’t really realise how tough it is. But as I said, if he wants to come in and give it hand I have no bother stepping in the ring with him.”

Conor McGregor has had more than his fair share of run-ins with the law during his career and has claimed his retirement from UFC multiple times. Whether his legal troubles would deter WWE from bringing him on board remains to be seen.
