Okay, I know it’ll never happen. But what if?

What if Dana White and the UFC wanted to co-promote a match with WWE? What if WWE wanted to as well? What if Lesnar kept his title until this fight with Cormier, and WWE strikes a deal with Cormier that if he wins, he’ll win and defend the Universal title at WrestleMania? Would it be terrible? Amazing? Amazingly terrible?

[rnrk supports BLM]

f*** it, go for it. UFC has a lot more to lose from being associated with fake fighting than WWE does from being able to claim their champ is a legit badass.

[Mister Pigwell]

Do it. The belt and the title scene surrounding it are already pretty low in the dumps with fans currently, might as well take some crazy chance.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Hahaha true story DC was such a huge wrestling fan that before going into mma full time he tried to become a pro wrestler.

He and King Mo went to tna for training, after a very short time there they decided that mma was a better option. I think they realized that tna's pay was so bad that it was better to fight people for real.

So yeah the reason Cormier is not a pro wrestler is because of tna.

[Starshine]

Hell yeah! Cormier's awesome. Plus him being WWE Champion would be so ridiculously absurd, I'd love it.

[Dub H]

It would be exciting at first

Then I would remember it would just be him losing to Reigns at Mania instead of Lesnar,same thing,different champion.

I don't think at the end of the day there's any way they will seriously allow Lesnar to show up at a UFC PPV with the Universal title. It only works if he wins both, but then if he wins both how do you get him back to defend the Universal title or do anything? And if he loses then your main champion got his clock cleaned on another company's PPV and now you have to bring him back and get the belt off him, or even worse, have your guys job out more to a guy that clearly lost a legit fight.

Get it off him at SS and be done with him.

Well yeah, but this thread is about if WWE and Cormier come to an agreement that would put the Universal title on the line in their fight, and if Cormier beats Lesnar, he wins the title and works a WWE match to lose it.

I don't want UFC mixing with wrestling like this, at all.

But...I say do it because the Universal Title scene is such a shitshow right now that this would give it a much needed boost, it would put more eyes on the product and it would actually help the WWE. I approve of it.

[TheMediocreWarrior]

I couldn't see Dana White ever agreeing to have his champion risk injury during a wrestling performance.


I will give Vince credit if the plan is for Roman to defeat Lesnar at Summerslam. He has probably managed to get a lot of fans to accept a Reigns Universal Title run as the lesser of two evils at this point.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Nope, nope nope, nope. I don’t wanna see the UFC title cross with the WWE title. I love both sports, I don’t need them to muddy each other.

[Fade]

Ugh, no.

[Some Guy]

I don't give a shit about the UFC but sure why not. The Universal title has sucked ass since Finn had to forfeit it anyways.

[The Rick Jericho]

This would be awesome.

Then what you do is have Cormier vs. Styles and unify the WWE and UFC titles.

Then in the kayfabe world, the WWE title has the lineage of the ECW, WCW, WWE and UFC world titles.

Brilliant.

[Alice Syndrome]

The entire point of this bullshit is to keep Brock happy because they think he'll draw fans away to the UFC, even though the only time he's drawing anything right now is in UFC from already lapsed WWE fans.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

I say yes but solely in a "f*** it, why not? Maybe it'll be a fun disaster" capacity.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Do it.

If Brock wins, immediately unify the titles with a new belt and have him lose to Strowman. Do it right there in the Octagon like a Hardcore Title 24/7 rules match.

That way UFC will never work with WWE again.

The ECW Title was never unified with the WWE Title. RVD held both titles briefly but they were treated as distinct championships.

[Unocal 76]

Cormier vs. Braun? Sign me up for that!

[Kevin Hamilton]

Well, if you want Cormier to be a triple champion, sure. Brock's not winning.
