Becky Lynch recently hinted at the possibility of Conor McGregor appearing in WWE. In a recent interview, Lynch, who hails from Ireland like McGregor, expressed openness to the idea.
As McGregor’s success as a showman in UFC and the speculation on shared ownership between UFC and WWE under the same TKO umbrella fuels, interest in his potential involvement in WWE intensifies. During an interview with Submission Radio, Lynch addressed the possibility of McGregor stepping into a WWE ring.
She stated, “I believe he’s inspired by the WWE. I think it’s very likely.” Lynch’s remarks underscore the growing anticipation surrounding McGregor’s potential appearances in WWE.
McGregor’s flashy style in UFC, reminiscent of WWE Superstars, and his previous respect for WWE have sparked rumors of a potential crossover. Many compare McGregor’s iconic walk to the octagon to Vince McMahon’s grand entrances. In 2016, McGregor openly challenged the WWE roster, asserting his belief that he could defeat any of them in a fight. His bold statement prompted responses from numerous WWE stars.
Becky Lynch reacts to Michael Chandler calling Conor McGregor on WWE RAW
Last week on WWE RAW, UFC Lightweight Fighter Michael Chandler made waves with a surprise appearance. Seizing the microphone, Chandler called out Conor McGregor, urging him to accept the fight.
During promotions for WWE Elimination Chamber, Becky Lynch addressed Chandler’s call-out of McGregor on RAW. When asked whether she watched the segment, she revealed she couldn’t catch the show as her daughter Roux fell ill. Furthermore, Lynch humorously recounted her reaction upon watching the video with fellow WWE star Kevin Owens, who unexpectedly joined her during the interview.
Chandler’s presence on the latest episode of RAW reignited speculation about a potential showdown with Conor McGregor, especially after McGregor’s absence from UFC 300. Despite heightened anticipation since last year, an official announcement regarding the Chandler-McGregor fight is still pending.
