In early 2023, WWE revealed that UFC’s parent company, Endeavor, had bought the wrestling promotion. This surprising decision to bring both the UFC and WWE under the same umbrella captured the interest of both wrestling and MMA enthusiasts. Many are now speculating about the potential transformations this merger will usher in. Currently, it is clear that Dana White‘s UFC and Vince McMahon‘s WWE will merge into a singular, dominant combat sports organization called TKO Holdings.

As per the latest reports, both the UFC and WWE will come under TKO this coming Tuesday. There are many who are excited about the formation of this $21 billion organization, and one among them is UFC superstar Conor McGregor. With rumors of his comeback into the octagon gaining traction, McGregor sent a message to his fans about the WWE-UFC merger. When fans came across the message, they speculated about the possibility of McGregor featuring for WWE.

Conor McGregor drops a huge warning

UFC superstar Conor McGregor made it clear that he would return to the UFC in December. As per the decision of the promotion, the Irishman will be fighting Michael Chandler at UFC 296 on December 16. Before the monumental clash, ‘The Notorious’ dropped a bomb by sending a five-word message about the UFC-WWE merger. The Irishman wrote, “We are just warming up! #TheTakeover” This comment made many speculate that McGregor is preparing to make his big move to WWE.

Even though the UFC and WWE will come under the same umbrella, both promotions will work independently. Following the merger, Dana White will now serve as the CEO of the UFC, and he has already ruled out the possibility of a crossover between the UFC and WWE.

According to White, the UFC focuses on real fights, while the WWE is scripted, which is solely for entertainment. Hence, a crossover is not possible. If McGregor wants to be a part of WWE, he would have to explore creative avenues to make his wish possible. Let’s find out how fans reacted after coming across McGregor’s message.

Fans react to the Irishman’s message

Conor McGregor’s last bout in the UFC octagon was against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. During the bout, the Irishman suffered a broken leg and has stayed away from the octagon ever since. At the moment, the MMA community is eagerly waiting for his return to fighting. When they came across McGregor’s recent comment about the UFC-WWE merger, many doubted if he was moving to WWE.

Similarly, another user had a similar thought.

Currently, fans strongly believe that McGregor will come back to fight the former three-time lightweight Bellator champion, Michael Chandler. Later, he might fight Justin Gaethje and Nate Diaz. However, after his recent message, a fan doubted that he was going to retire from fighting.

Another fan asked McGregor to do whatever he was planning before he turned forty.

One of the fans demanded something huge from the Irishman. He asked ‘The Notorious’ to do a PPV event for the UFC and then fight the next day for WWE.

Ronda Rousey was a UFC fighter who later moved to WWE and became a top star in the promotion. One of the fans praised McGregor by calling him the “male Ronda Rousey.”

Another fan wrote about how McGregor is the face of his successful business ventures and also of the UFC. Later, he mentioned the Irishman as the face of WWE.

From the reactions of the fans, it is clear that the message from Conor McGregor has clearly confused them. ‘The Notorious’ has always shown a lot of excitement about the UFC-WWE merger. Moreover, this tweet made many wonder whether the UFC superstar is preparing to step foot into the squared circle instead of the octagon. Do you think that McGregor is preparing to move to the WWE?
