A Potential WWE move by Colby Covington is no longer just speculation after the former UFC interim champion confirmed he has already held discussions with the Company. While nothing is finalized, Covington admitted that a move into sports entertainment is a real option for his future.
Speaking to Brian Mazique, Covington revealed that he has been in contact with Triple H, though his immediate focus remains elsewhere.
“I’ve had some calls with Triple H and the WWE, so that’s a potential possibility in the future as well. But I’m all in on RAF, I invested my hard-earned money that I earned fighting into RAF to get a little small equity percentage and I care about the future.”

Despite acknowledging interest in WWE, Covington made it clear he is not limiting his options. He pointed to Real American Freestyle as a key priority while also leaving the door open for a potential UFC return.
“RAF is definitely somewhere I see myself ending my competitive career at. Whether I entertain other fight offers and go back to the UFC and get some big fights, those are still possibilities. You never know what the future holds and what tomorrow holds.”
If Covington does make the jump, he already understands what will present the biggest challenge. Rather than concerns about promos or in-ring ability, he highlighted WWE’s demanding travel schedule as the toughest adjustment.
“Honestly I think the most difficult transition when I think about the pro wrestler schedule… They’re on the road 320, 330 days a year, they’re travelling to different countries. They got Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, they got their pay-per-views. I mean, it’s a rigorous schedule.”
“I’m used to training for 8-10 weeks at a training camp, and then I go to one fight and I make a ton of money in one night and that’s it. I can chill for a couple months of a year, but wrestling it’s just back-to-back-to-back. So, I think it’s just understanding the travel schedule and trying to keep up with that.”
Covington also expressed confidence in his ability to adapt to WWE’s performance style. He credited his amateur wrestling background and past experience in TNA Wrestling, including guidance from Bobby Lashley, as key factors.
“I think the mic skills, they’re similar. Being able to shoot a promo is everything. I learned that. I was on TNA Impact with my boy Bobby Lashley and he showed me what it takes to shoot promos and how to do this and that. So, I feel like I would be very comfortable with that. And then the wrestling, I’ve been wrestling my whole life. I know how to be an athlete. I know how to do in-ring wrestling. So I feel like I would pick that up very quick.”
For now, Covington remains focused on his upcoming commitments in Real American Freestyle. However, with confirmed talks already taking place, the Colby Covington WWE move is clearly something that could develop further down the line.
