“When news of the reported sale of WWE to Endeavor was close, Conor McGregor immediately took to social media to tease heading to the WWE to win the WWE Championship.
Paul Heyman, the special counsel to Roman Reigns, the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, fired back by calling McGregor a Roman Reigns wannabe. Conor said that he would have no issue breaking Heyman's jaw.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Heyman gave his thoughts on the former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion.
"I am still thriving on top. I would like to see if Conor McGregor, at 57, is still thriving at the very top of his entire industry. We'll see if he's even relevant, we'll see if he even lives to 57 with his lifestyle. It's not that he tweeted to me, I picked the fight with him. He, as a Roman Reigns wannabe, did the Paul Heyman style title on each shoulder and gave a shoutout to himself, of course, the ultimate self-promoter. Standing nine feet tall and weighing 155 pounds at five foot four. With that in mind, I said, 'look at Conor McGregor, a Roman Reigns wannabe,' and of course, 'Be careful Grandpa, I'll break your jaw in three places.' My father, a street savvy guy from the Bronx, used to say, If you have to hit somebody you don't go 'I'm gonna kick your ass, I oughta punch you in the face, I'm gonna beat you up and come get you.' You know what they do? They walk up and they hit you. He's talking a good game. You're coming after the Wise Man? Even if he did come after me, what if I landed a lucky shot? Like the lucky shot he hit (Jose) Aldo with. Aldo clipped him and busted him open on a knockout punch he threw. What if I got a lucky punch? If he beats me up, who cares? I'm a 57 year old Wise Man. I'm a Jew boy from the Bronx. This is a tough fight for Conor McGregor? I don't see him picking a fight with Roman Reigns. Then again, little people do what little minds tell them to do, and that's okay. I like the little guy, he's funny to me. Like a clown. He's here for my amusement," Heyman said with a laugh.

I like McGregor but man, don’t go after Paul like that. You will lose, son.

I'll never understand the world's fascination with a mouthy skanger whose domestic fanbase is a 1:1 with Andrew Tate enjoyers. Awful c*** with an IQ the same as his age. Probably the only worse modern athlete is Tyson Fury, who at the very least is objectively an amazing boxer. So obviously he completely fits the WWE of Logan Paul and Prime crossovers - you can't accuse them of complacency!

Christ almighty no. I find McGregor an embarrassment as an Irish citizen, so please keep him away from wwe. If that’s not possible get Brock go up against him and embarrass him.

Conor does dumb stuff away from the cage but anything UFC related is all for show.
Undeniably Conor McGregor vs. someone at Wrestlemania will get eyes on the product and that’s all the WWE really cares about. They’re not putting art out there they’re going for max profit at any cost.
It would be a mess but he’s sell the hell out of a match. lol
I think that people also forget that Conor came up from nothing…having money like he does is going to change anyone. 🤷🏻♂️

keep this horrible f***ing c*** off TV thanks, cheers I agree, but he's been part of the Bloodline story for so long that I doubt they'll get rid of him any time soon.

Completely normal working class background in a completely normal working class suburb. He tries to exaggerate it for the benefit of his foreign audience

Wrestlers literally put their lives in the other guys hands every time they wrestle a match. The very idea of someone having to put their life in the hands of that complete and utter twat McGregor is quite simply horrifying.

We thought it could *potentially* happen with Ronda and Becky, I could genuinely see it with McGregor, just to laugh at the silly fake fighting wrestling business or some shit.

Conor posted that photoshop of him with the belts literally hours after the news of the UFC x WWE merger being imminent was reported too lmao. Not even the news that it had happened, the news that it was *about* to happen.

The problem, or one of the problems, with Conor and others who crib from wrestling, is that when you then put them IN wrestling, it exposes how unexceptional the promos they cut really are.
That said, if WWE wanted to run this match for some reason, Conor and Roman have been trading barbs for years, so I guess it would not be out of nowhere. Conor just has zero place winning it, given it's not like he's at the top of his game or untouchable. We have seen him utterly humiliated by Khabib and also handled with kid gloves by Mayweather. I am sure he'd get to choke Roman out or something in the build, beat Solo, then lose the match itself with Roman. Like a handful of Conor fans would buy the Network for a month and then most of them wouldn't stick around, to no lasting benefit as Conor gets a huge check to basically coast.
