UFC Champion Expresses Interest in Joining WWE
UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall reveals interest in joining WWE after his MMA career ends, following a taste of wrestling action alongside Logan Paul.
UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Tom Aspinall has his sights set on potentially stepping into the squared circle after his octagon days are done.
The heavyweight knockout artist recently opened up about his WWE aspirations during an appearance on Logan Paul’s ImPaulsive podcast.
The possibility of talent crossing between UFC and WWE has gained serious momentum since the formation of TKO Group Holdings, which now oversees both powerhouse organizations.
Honestly, I went to a WWE show, and my personality isn’t all that bravado, but I met the guys involved with WWE — the wrestlers and the crew — and I was like, I like this. I really like this.
The champion actually got a taste of WWE action but faced limitations due to UFC restrictions on his participation.
I got to get in the ring, we had a little bit of a part for me. I couldn’t really fight because the UFC blocked it a little bit. I thought they would let me get in a punch or two, but they didn’t.
Aspinall made it crystal clear that WWE figures prominently in his post-MMA plans going forward.
But I absolutely… that’s something I’d really like to do, just as a little outlet when I’m done fighting.
