– While Conor McGregor has ripped WWE and their talent in the past, he has had a cordial rapport with Becky Lynch.
The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, who has offered to help Becky in the past on Twitter, congratulated her for winning the WWE RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 35 last night. He also teased possibly signing with WWE, writing, “Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do. Or could I…”
McGregor also displayed some of his wrestling knowledge when a fan brought up that Chris Jericho was actually the WWE’s first “Champ Champ” when he unified the World Championship (previously the WCW Championship) and WWF Championship at the Vengeance PPV in 2001. McGregor replied:
One of these is a WCW belt.
Both belts must be won under the same organization and both titles must be fully unified also.
Interim titles do not make the cut.
The belts must also be held consecutively.
This is for true “Champ Champ” status.
Yours sincerely,
The Champ Champ™️ https://t.co/b7dW8T1Gty— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 8, 2019
Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ.
Wow!
What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty!
Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do.
Or could I…— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 8, 2019
– Brock Lesnar is not advertised for any future WWE dates, including tonight’s RAW in Brooklyn, NY. Lesnar has re-signed with WWE several times since returning to the company in 2012. His most recent deal, which he signed last November, is believed to have expired on Sunday.
As for Lesnar’s future, it was reported on ESPN’s SportsCenter last week that Lesnar is in talks with the UFC for a potential fight against current UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier. Lesnar has had talks in the past with UFC when his WWE contract was expiring, which would result in WWE offering him a better deal to stay.
