There’s a fair argument to be made that White is actually following McMahon’s example in not only embracing stars who were first built in WWE like Brock Lesnar and CM Punk, but also featuring more WWE style antics that may or may not have been “worked shoots.” That includes Brock Lesnar storming the Octagon to challenge Daniel Cormier in an event most agree must have been staged, to more recent violence surrounding Conor McGregor at press conferences and fight that come across like WWE-style manufactured mayhem than legitimate chaos to some fans.
