In the post on X, which has now been deleted, Conor McGregor detailed his idea about his WWE character. He also added an interesting backstory that drew parallels to his own life and possibly Vince McMahon’s as well. The intriguing backstory also set up the stage for his character, “Ron McMahon’s” eventual success, according to McGregor. The character shares more than just the heritage with McMahon. They apparently share the same business prowess. This funny post could be an allusion to the success these two have found in their respective industries.
McGregor wrote, “My WWE character. The babyface boss, Ron McMahon. I specialize in ambush, and power control. Abandoned by the family in Ireland but made my own fortune brewing alcohol. And now I’m back. And boy am I pi**ed“. The WWE holds its place as one of the most successful and consistent wrestling promotions. The franchise has produced many names, such as Hulk Hogan and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson that have almost become household. Now McGregor also seems to be making a statement, putting forth his vision for a new character.
