“He’s teased [coming to WWE] a couple of times,” Sheamus said. “He’s still staying active, he’s a lad who’s won belts, he’s done a lot, so I think he’s that type of person who’s always trying to try his hand at something different. I think WWE would suit him down to the ground.

“You know, we’ve had a lot of people come in and out, [Floyd] Mayweather came in, a lot of celebrities have come in, a lot of sports people. So I don’t think anyone would raise eyebrows if he came in to WWE. I don’t think it’s if, I think it’s a matter of when to be honest.”

“If he wants to come in there with me, that’s grand. He might get the fight of his life there; he might get couple of slaps he’s not used to. But that’s what it’s all about, getting in there and seeing a different type of environment.”

Conor McGregor is scheduled to face Dustin Poirier at UFC 257. He has sworn his allegiance to the sport and has stated that he will continue to fight in the UFC as long as he can, However, one can never say never. Who knows one day the Notorious may turn out for the promotion? Even if it’s only a one off.

Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
