3 reasons why Vince McMahon could sign Conor McGregor to WWE and 2 reasons why he won't

In October of 2017, there were astonishing rumors that surrounded one of UFC's most popular athletes Conor McGregor possibly jumping ship to WWE.

Whilst the reports coerced us in believing that Conor could be making a solid appearance at WrestleMania, Dana White instantly shut the speculations down and revealed his interesting conversation with Vince McMahon.

One can't deny that McGregor has strong business acumen and the Irish fighter certainly understands how the world of sports entertainment works.

Conor took to Twitter today and announced his retirement from Mixed Martial Arts. In this age of information, the former UFC Featherweight Champion has used his reach to the maximum and left no stone unturned in diminishing the credibility of professional wrestling.

Despite the fact that Conor did ridicule the eminence of the entire WWE roster, he has never shied away from expressing his adulation for Vince McMahon and Triple H.

Since superstars like Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar jumped ship to Vince's billion dollar corporation and have been successful in elevating the company's stature, there's a genuine possibility that something could happen.

Furthermore and most importantly, Finn Balor's reaction to McGregor's tweet has raised many eyeballs. The first-ever Universal Champion's reply of - 'See you at 'Mania brother' has coerced the fans into believing that the retired MMA fighter could show up at WrestleMania 35.

With the Grandest Stage of Them All just days away, will Conor show up and take the wrestling world by storm just like Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar?

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the 3 reasons why Vince McMahon could sign Conor McGregor and 2 reasons why he won't.

#1 Why he could - Doing what is 'best for business'

Can Conor bring more money to the WWE?

A genuine reason why Vince McMahon has been attracted to superstars who gravitate tremendous mainstream attention and can make his company a million bucks.

With WWE always wanting to do what is best for business, bringing a superstar like him inside the squared circle would only lead to Vince making more money.

It's understandable that despite falling down to Khabib Nurmagomedov in his previous fight, Conor has remained one of the most popular stars on the entire planet.

His marketability as a superstar could gravitate some stellar viewership from all over the world. Considering that WWE has started to endorse the idea of being more business-minded than creatively clinical in their booking, Conor's signing could take the wrestling world by storm.

#2 Why he won't - Conor's creative and financial demands may not be entertained

Is Conor too outspoken?

A significant reason that could see Vince McMahon not go out of his way to sign someone like Conor McGregor is because his financial demands may be too difficult to meet and entertain.

While Brock Lesnar has enjoyed an impressive reign in Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, the same cannot be said about The Irish UFC sensation, Conor McGregor.

Considering how McGregor usually sells his fights through his brash attitude, one wonders whether WWE would be able to absorb his on-screen arrogance in a PG Era.

#3 Why he could - WWE's association with MMA is continuing to grow

There's a strong association

With Ronda Rousey now all set to headline this year's WrestleMania 35, one has to admit that WWE's association with MMA stars is continuing to grow on a different level.

Vince McMahon certainly advocates the idea of bringing the biggest box-office draws to his billion dollar company and Conor McGregor ticks all those boxes.

Even a star like Matt Riddle who is being efficiently presented down in NXT could become the next big thing on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live.

If Conor does agree to join the WWE, he could very well have some classic feuds with the likes of Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, and even Roman Reigns.

Judging by how successful this association has been, it could not be denied that Vince McMahon could offer Conor a sensational deal to finally enter the squared circle.

#4 Why he won't - There is enough talent in the locker room

Do the other superstars deserve more?

There's no denying that WWE has always propelled superstars who gravitate an exceptional amount of mainstream buzz and have often sidelined other stars who possibly deserve the recognition on the biggest stage.

While stars like Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey have been placed on the very top of the industry, stars like Kevin Owens and Sasha Banks are still scratching and clawing to find their way to the top.

Furthermore, some of the comments made by Conor about the WWE Superstars in the past could create a different dynamic in the locker room, if WWE were to sign the Irishman.

Considering that superstars like Becky Lynch and Kofi Kingston have organically risen to the top of the heap, Vince could start appreciating the idea of creating more emotionally intriguing stories and investing more on the talent he currently possesses.

#5 Why he could - Dethroning other wrestling promotions on the scene

This could help

Another significant reason why we could see Conor jump ship to WWE is because of the inception of All Elite Wrestling and other independent wrestling promotions.

Considering that AEW could be willing to create a similar atmosphere like the WWE and since the element of rejuvenation and curiosity could divert the hardcore fans to witness their prowess, Conor's introduction to the world of sports entertainment could work well in favor of the WWE.

While there's no wrestling promotion in the world as popular as WWE, Vince certainly does not like the idea of competing with anyone, and this could coerce him to bring in a marketable superstar like Conor McGregor.
