Could Conor McGregor tear it up in WWE someday?
Could Conor McGregor tear it up in WWE someday?

Conor Gregor in WWE? When Sportskeeda asked former UFC and current WWE star, Riddle, if it was a possibility, he said yes. but had doubts about Conor McGregor passing the PG test:

"Do I think he'd be a good fit for WWE? If he's willing to do the work and work hard and put his time in, yeah.", said Riddle. "Just like Ronda was good. Just like I'm good. But if you think you're just going to come in, collect a payday which will probably happen and be more like a Cain [Velasquez] situation, where a guy come in, even if he had the skills, only comes in for a show or two. I think it'd be great for business. Conor's good, marketable, and everything else," Riddle said.

With McGregor in the news again, we thought it would be fun to check out some potential opponents for the man in WWE. Name your own picks in the comments section below.


#5 Conor McGregor vs. WWE RAW star Riddle

Take Conor McGregor's smashmouth style and have him square off with Riddle, with his casual, nonchalant, and laidback attitude. The result would be very entertaining! Even though this match wouldn't necessarily be at the same level as the other matches we'll mention in this article, it could be pretty cool.

McGregor could allege that Riddle is only in WWE because his UFC career did not pan out in the same manner that his did! Riddle could fire back with some shots of his own. This feud could bring out a more aggressive side of Riddle that's been latent until now.

Even though WWE RAW Superstar Riddle is on the verge of greatness, he needs that push to reach the next level. Conor McGregor could be that catalyst much like Mike Tyson was for Steve Austin.

#4 Conor McGregor vs. Finn Balor

If Conor McGregor comes to WWE in the future, the company may want to pair him against someone who sizes up to him. At the same time, it needs to be a star with a certain amount of box-office value.

Finn Balor is a WWE Superstar who ticks all the boxes. Interestingly, he also hails from Ireland, like McGregor. Balor can also sell when the idea is for the celebrity to go over!

#3 Conor McGregor vs. WWE Champion Bobby Lashley

A couple of years ago, Bobby Lashley said that Conor McGregor was "too small" for the WWE title. Fast forward to 2021 and Bobby Lashley is the WWE Champion and the face of the Monday Night RAW brand.

Lashley also has a background in MMA, meaning that there's a reason for Conor McGregor to step into the ring with him if he shows up. The two men could even compete inside the Fight Pit and clash in an MMA-style contest! It would be an attraction for the ages.

#2 Conor McGregor vs. Brock Lesnar

Conor McGregor took a shot at WWE a few years ago, and Brock Lesnar took exception to his comments. Lesnar even said that he took s***s bigger than Conor McGregor. As a result, there's already a feud brewing between the two.

There's surely a size mismatch between the two men, but we know how well Brock Lesnar works with performers smaller than him.

A clash between Conor McGregor and Brock Lesnar is a big-ticket attraction and the gate would be huge!

#1 Conor McGregor vs. WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

If Conor McGregor comes to WWE someday, it would make sense for him to go after the biggest dog in the yard - the WWE Universal Champion. Roman Reigns sent out the above message to McGregor five years ago, which might ignite their conflict!

This match is worthy of being the WrestleMania main event. If Conor McGregor learns the basics of sports entertainment to clash with Roman Reigns, the buzz would be tremendous.
