Reports suggest former UFC champion Conor McGregor may be positioning for a WWE debut alongside John Cena following recent social media activity. McGregor’s cryptic response to a WrestleMania post from TKO Group has sparked speculation about his potential involvement in upcoming WWE programming.
The Irish fighter commented on the TKO post with the statement: “I’ll only return to the stadium.” This comes amid Cena’s new heel run as Undisputed WWE Champion after defeating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. Industry insiders note that McGregor’s combative persona would complement Cena’s villainous character.
The TKO Group, which owns both WWE and UFC, could facilitate McGregor’s crossover between the two combat sports brands. His potential debut might occur at Backlash on May 10, possibly interfering in Cena’s expected title defense against Randy Orton.
WWE has not officially confirmed any plans involving McGregor at this time. The speculation follows a recent trend of celebrity appearances in WWE programming, with the company potentially looking to capitalize on McGregor’s star power and natural showmanship for upcoming Premium Live Events.
