Later, WWE on BT Sport posted a screenshot of the same on Twitter. This caught the attention of Drew McIntyre, and he was having none of it!

He later tweeted the following response.

McIntyre thought that taking this picture was a cheap PR stunt by McGregor.

He also criticizes McGregor for picking a fight with Vince McMahon instead of someone his own age.

Drew McIntyre was obviously offended by the post. His title on someone else’s shoulder for PR purposes just wasn’t going to fly with him.

This could hint at Conor McGregor joining WWE in the future

The question of Conor McGregor joining WWE has been debated quite a bit over the years.

He is still pretty much at the peak of his career.

However, fans still wonder whether he will ever decide to take his talents to the WWE.

While we aren’t promoting any rumors, McGregor’s picture may in fact state that he has his eyes on WWE in one way or the other.

We shouldn’t speculate his arrival in the near future, however, as it may just be a PR gimmick as McIntyre points out.

However, it would be quite exciting seeing a WWE Champion vs UFC Champion match between the two superpowers in McIntyre and McGregor.

McIntyre’s insulting words on Twitter will undoubtedly have a response from McGregor, who is bound to come back big time.
