Fans have always been adamant about pitting their favorite celebrities in the octagon. An example of this is the recent Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk saga. Even though they are not professional fighters, fans are ready to pay anything to see them clash. Something similar is happening after this merger. Both promotions have a roster that is equally formidable and skilled at the same time. So a crossover event is something fans want to see to maximize the capabilities of both promotions.

Brock Lesnar had previously proved his mettle at UFC. Capturing the UFC Heavyweight title, he has proven to be a beast in both the WWE ring and in the octagon. Another star that fans want to make a short visit to WWE is Conor McGregor. The 35-year-old star has been under the radar for foul-mouthing WWE stars for a very long time. It would be interesting to see how he will react if he gets a chance to stand in the WWE ring.
