In August of 2016, Conor McGregor started something with WWE that the superstars clearly haven't forgotten.
With one tweet and some NSFW comments, via Uproxx, the current UFC lightweight champion sent things spinning out of control.
“I haven’t really thought about it. For the most part, those WWE guys are p***ies. They’re messed up p***ies if you ask me.”
Back in August when McGregor went public with his thoughts on WWE and possibly joining the company or doing some kind of cross promotion, many superstars shared how they felt about him.
With it being WrestleMania week, WWE's best will be doing a lot of interviews ahead of the big event, and one person was asked about McGregor.
In an interview with '105.3 The Fan,' Baron Corbin was asked about the potential Floyd and Conor fight, and he responded with some strong words for McGregor:
"I would go with Maywether, I mean, the guy is unprecedented, he has zero losses. And he has an ego, I mean who wouldn't- I have an ego, I like to tell everyone 'I'm the best' and carry myself that way, but I mean nobody has touched Floyd and he has created a legacy and Conor McGregor is a professional at running his mouth. I think, ya know, he's called out a few WWE Superstars, I wouldn't mind taking a crack at Conor McGregor and- he's like 165 pounds, 185 pounds soaking wet. So, I would like to slam him on his head a few times."
We imagine many superstars feel the same way, so if McGregor ever makes his way to WWE, here's one match he could potentially have.
Corbin, a former NFL player, is as tough as they come and at WrestleMania Sunday, he challenges Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental title.
McGregor, on the other hand, is still trying to make his fight with Floyd official, but until then, it would be fun to see him mix it up with WWE's best, especially after the comments he's made.
