Various News: Colby Covington Hints At Joining WWE, Preview For This Week’s NJPW on AXS TV, Official Synopsis For This Week’s WOW
– In an interview with Submission Radio (via Ringside News), UFC fighter Colby Covington hinted that he might join the WWE, as he feels mistreated by the UFC. He was recently passed over for a title fight with Tyron Woodley in favor of Kamaru Usman.
He said: “I’m not losing any sleep over it. I can tell you what, I’m on vacation right now with all my ladies in Miami, man, we having a good night, we having a good time. We’re partying. I’m still making money. That’s the thing about the UFC, they can’t slow me down. I’m a personality now. I do whatever the fuck I want. If I’m gonna go to the WWE, you know, I might be in the WWE soon. So I could give a fuck less if I ever fight in the UFC.”
