Seth Rollins on Conor McGregor Joining WWE: 'Never Say Never, But He Would Have To Be On A Roman Reigns-Like Schedule'

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins recently weighed in on the possibility of former UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor transitioning into professional wrestling after his MMA career ends. ## In an interview with "Submission Radio," Rollins acknowledged that while anything is possible, McGregor would likely need a similar part-time schedule to Roman Reigns, who appears for major events only. ## "Maybe," Rollins said. "Never say never, but he would have to be on a Roman Reigns-like schedule. He'd be showing up every 6 months to have a match. He'd be on that Logan Paul contract. I don't know that doing what I do would be for Conor McGregor. It's tough dude. It is a difficult transition to make. So if he would want to give it a shot, we'd love to have him, but I don't know, man. I couldn't jump into their world and do what they do, so I would not expect them to be able to do the same with us."## This statement comes amidst increased speculation about potential crossovers between WWE and UFC, now under the same ownership group. Interestingly, McGregor was recently called out by fellow UFC fighter Michael Chandler on WWE Raw, reigniting discussions about his potential future endeavors. ## While McGregor's official stance on joining WWE remains unknown, Rollins' comments highlight the demanding nature of professional wrestling and the potential challenges athletes from other disciplines may face in adapting to the unique rigors of the sport. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

UFC's Michael Chandler Makes a Surprise Appearance On 2/19 WWE Raw, Calls Out Conor McGregor

Crossover Clash! Chandler Calls Out McGregor on WWE Raw. ## UFC fighter Michael Chandler ignited the February 19th episode of WWE Raw with an appearance. The crowd erupted as he materialized amidst the throng, and moments later, he amped up the drama by snatching a microphone. In a bold move, he issued a seemingly direct challenge to Conor McGregor, urging the Irish superstar to "haul his ass back to the Octagon." ## For months, fight fans buzzed with anticipation about a potential showdown between Chandler and McGregor at UFC 300 on June 29th. But just days ago, UFC President Dana White dashed those hopes, indicating McGregor's return would likely occur later in the year, closer to December.## However, fate seems to have other plans, as these two fierce competitors are still destined to lock horns, albeit in a different ring: they'll be coaching rival teams on The Ultimate Fighter 31. ## Chandler hasn't stepped into the Octagon since November 2022, when he squared off against Dustin Poirier at UFC 281. Similarly, McGregor's last dance took place in July 2021 at UFC 264, where he sustained a brutal leg break during his fight with Poirier. ## WHOA! 😲😲😲@MikeChandlerMMA just called out @TheNotoriousMMA on #WWERaw! pic.twitter.com/pUN2dUFW1r— WWE (@WWE) February 20, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
