Becky Lynch expects to see Conor McGregor in WWE soon

02 March 2024

The reverberations of the UFC-WWE merger are beginning to take shape, with the latest development surfacing as Michael Chandler cut a fiery promo targeting Conor McGregor on a recent episode of Raw.

McGregor, a notable figure in both MMA and entertainment realms, has yet to respond to Chandler's call-out, but speculation is rife that a reaction from the Irish fighter is imminent.

In the midst of the anticipation, WWE superstar Becky Lynch weighed in on the possibility of McGregor gracing the WWE stage. During an interview with Submission Radio, Lynch expressed her belief that McGregor finds inspiration in WWE and asserted the likelihood of his potential appearance on Raw.

Lynch remarked, "I believe he's inspired by the WWE. I think it's very possible, I think it's very possible."

McGregor's penchant for cutting compelling promos and his penchant for provoking opponents aligns closely with the theatricality of professional wrestling—a trait that has contributed to his immense popularity and success in the MMA world.

The ongoing verbal sparring between McGregor and Chandler has kept fans on edge, especially since their anticipated matchup was teased following their selection as coaches for The Ultimate Fighter season 31 in February 2023.
