Rumor killer on Conor McGregor-WWE

For anyone wondering, there is no angle going on between WWE and Conor McGregor. Several readers have asked if the whole deal between McGregor and the WWE Superstars is something that will lead to some sort of angle at WrestleMania.

None of the stuff said in recent days on social media was planned by WWE. That doesn’t mean that something can’t be worked out later on but everything that McGregor said about WWE talent at last week’s UFC 202 conference call was done on his own and the response from WWE talent was not a directive from WWE. In fact, there were several wrestlers that were upset about McGregor’s comment about wanting to slap the entire roster.

The fact is that McGregor was just doing whatever he could to get extra attention for his fight at UFC 202 with Nate Diaz. He was smart enough not to bash the decision makers (Vince McMahon and Triple H).

McGregor was wise to apologize to WWE fans since so many WWE fan are fans of UFC and a large portion of them will be watching his fight with Diaz.
