Remember how Connor McGregor would often insult wrestling, and wrestlers, as fake and not real fighters? How Sheamus “slapped peoples arses for a living”? That has all changed according to his recent Twitter comments. (I’m on my phone so can’t cut and paste) twitter.com/thenotoriousmma/status/1115202914954489856?s=21Stephanie then replied with “you never know until you try.” McGregor is a grade A tool, but if he’s truly retired from MMA you know WWE will throw money at him to come over. Just interesting that he’s now completely changed his tune when it comes to pro wrestling..

Nah, he’s been a Becky supporter for awhile. Becky has trained at SBG Ireland before with John Kavanagh and most of Conor’s team. But I don’t think she’s directly trained with Conor himself
Plus, she’s pretty blatantly channeling 2016 Conor as part of her character.
EDIT: Plus, him lipping wrestlers was a work. Pretty sure he had negotiations with WWE around that time. He’s obviously a fan, or at least was a fan, his strut is 100% the Vince McMahon strut. He’s admitted as much. His promo style, I believe, is heavily influenced Piper but I’m not 100%. But it’s clearly wrestling influenced. Think he’s on record as saying his style is just modernised Ric Flair. He’s whole persona is ripped off from wrestlers

McGregor in WWE sounds unfathomably awful. So much positive buzz around the company following Mania after months of negativity, hiring McGregor would be anathema.

He is looking for attention, as per usual.
If he isn't able to deal with the problems he's currently faced with, WWE wouldn't even be able to bring him to some of the countries they visit. He could not possibly be worth what he would expect to be paid.

I like him, he's entertaining and would make a very good heel.
Bring him in!

Everytime I hear about Connor name job WWE or Lesnar. I just remember Lesnar’s quote about the whole thing.
“I take shits bigger that kid” - Lesnar
I’d still enjoy a one off between the two of them.

He’s being investigated for sexual assault in Ireland, which should tell you everything about the people the wwe likes to hire.
