#2) Safer work environment
The WWE is scripted. Just in case you’re still living the kayfabe era, I thought I’d just make that clear. With everything being scripted, there is very little room for “real fighting” to happen like it does in the world of MMA.
But, what that also means is that the WWE is a much safer place to work when compared to the UFC and other MMA promotions. Can you imagine getting the absolute snot beaten out of you and then choked out for real by Nate Diaz in the WWE? Nope, it’s never gonna happen.
Sure there are injuries and the like, but for the most part, working in the WWE is a helluva lot safer than working in the UFC where there are elite level fighters out for your blood. This is especially true for someone like McGregor who loves to piss off his opponents with his trash talk.
It would be much safer for McGregor in Vince’s clubhouse rather than Dana White’s.
