Colby Covington is in line for a shot at the UFC Welterweight Championship and has previously performed for Impact Wrestling in an angle where he and his ATT (American Top Team) teammates attack members of the Impact Wrestling roster.

Covington is also well-known for playing up his heel persona on social media—at times to his own detriment, as he received death threats from several Star Wars fans after he spoiled the franchise’s latest installment on Twitter. Furthermore, Covington has previously spoken about his desire for working with the WWE.

With youth, mic skills, and athleticism on Covington’s side, the man could perhaps be a great surprise entrant at this year’s WWE Royal Rumble.
