Could WWE and UFC fans get the best of both worlds with a fun-spirited Conor McGregor vs. Vince McMahon pro wrestling match with the “Billion Dollar Walk” on-the-line?
Well … no.
However, that did not stop “The Game” from talking about the possibility of the fantasy match when asked about Conor McGregor coming to WWE during a recent interview.
While talking with TMZ Sports this week, the WWE EVP Of Global Talent Strategy & Development was asked about two established stars from the world of MMA — UFC commentator and top-ranked heavyweight contender Daniel Cormier and former two-division UFC world champion “The Notorious” Conor McGregor.
“I love Daniel,” said Triple H when asked about the former UFC Heavyweight & Light Heavyweight Champion possibly making the transition from the Octagon to the squared circle.
“We’ve obviously talked a lot in the past,” he added. “We’ve had conversations about him doing stuff with us in the past whether that’s in-ring or whether that’s commentary or doing different things.”
‘The Game’ continued, “I think we’d love to do something with him if the time is right — obviously, respectful to UFC and to Dana and everything else. We’d love to chat with him and we have an open relationship as far as communication so I’m sure shortly we will when he figures out what he wants to do.”
Additionally, Paul “Triple H” Levesque was asked about the biggest star in combat sports — Ireland’s own Conor McGregor — possibly squaring off against Mr. McMahon in a “Battle of the Billion Dollar Walk.”
“I think that Conor McGregor versus Vince McMahon with that Billion Dollar Walk on the line,” an excited Triple H exclaimed. “I mean, I think that’s a match made in heaven!”
