Let’s go back to the root of this article — Conor McGregor teased a possible appearance in WWE after NXT Champion Finn Balor made a tweet. Both men hail from Ireland, and it’s possible that they could be cooking up a plan behind the scenes to give the fans something different.

Balor is one of the biggest names in WWE and a future Hall of Famer. On the other hand, McGregor is arguably the biggest name in combat sports today. He has managed to stay on top in the news to bring more value to his name.

Collectively, the two men can give NXT the biggest match the brand has ever hosted. This way, they will put the Black and Gold brand on the map.

Fans have seen WWE attempting to elevate NXT to RAW and SmackDown's level of newsworthiness a few times in the past. McGregor vs. Balor is the match that could finally accomplish this goal for NXT.

While Conor McGregor's potential bouts against men like Karrion Kross, Edge, and Roman Reigns are seen as dream matches, McGregor and Balor's pairing could exceed expectations.

The overall result could benefit NXT and turn it into a mainstream promotion like RAW or SmackDown. After all, Conor McGregor being featured on NXT rather than RAW or SmackDown will be seen as a big deal.
