Published 02/26/2021, 10:26 PM EST

The world of combat sports is currently abuzz with a possible crossover. Conor McGregor, Finn Balor, and Triple H are teasing a match between the former two on Twitter.

The two Irishmen were having a playful tussle when the NXT Champion teased a match. Balor shared a picture of three action figures with him and McGregor holding their respective titles, and Triple H between them.

Balor captioned the post as “Triple H x @TheNotoriousMMA (McGregor) x Bálor”. However, it is unclear whether the former double Ultimate Fighting Champion and NXT Champion hinted at a match against each other or together.

There is no news or even rumors of McGregor leaving UFC for WWE, as his peers Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey did before. But McGregor regularly interacts with Becky Lynch and appreciates Irishmen in the business.

His interactions with WWE started way back in 2016 when he called WWE wrestlers “p*ssies,” in a press meet. He said, “I haven’t really thought about it. For the most part, those WWE guys are p*ssies. To be honest, they’re messed up p*ssies if you ask me.”

However, he had appreciated The Rock, Vince McMahon, and Triple H.

“There are some dons in that wrestling game. The McMahons, they’re dons. Triple H is a don. The Rock is a don. The rest of them are p*ssies.”

Recently, McGregor came back from the verge of retirement to face the current Featherweight number one, Dustin Poirier, in a rematch of their 2014 bout. However, McGregor lost in the second round via knockout.

There will be a McGregor vs Poirier 3 in the summer after the former comes out of his medical suspension. Following this, do you think there is a possibility we will see McGregor in WWE soon? Let us know in the comments below.
