Grayson Waller Says He’s The Perfect Person To Help Conor McGregor Crossover To WWE
Speaking recently with The MMA Hour, WWE’s Grayson Waller shared his thoughts on future crossover potential between MMA and WWE talent (per Fightful). Waller name-dropped Conor McGregor and Chael Sonnen among those he would like to appear alongside at WWE events. You can find a few highlights from Waller and watch the full interview below.
On who he would like to work with from the MMA field: “I envision…I don’t think I’m that far off from getting world title matches. When I do that, I’ve always enjoyed the MMA vibe of having people walk you out. If Chael is ever available, I’d love to have Chael walk me out. Conor, he could walk me out, but I genuinely think Grayson Waller and Conor McGregor as a tag team at WrestleMania is something that could happen. Conor is going to find his way to WWE in some way. I think I’m the perfect person to help him with that. Put me in with you, bro. I have no problem doing that. I think that’s something that’s going to happen.”
On if Conor McGregor will ever sign with WWE: “I think 100%. I know online he says ‘never’ and he doesn’t like wrestling, and he says those things, but there is too much money to be made. You can only fight for so long. He’s another guy who has so much happening in his life, it’s hard to commit 100% to the fight game. For wrestling, there are people who do it part-time. Look at Logan Paul. He’s a part-time guy, but he’s really good at what he does. He’s great to watch and making waves. He’s wrestling at WrestleMania and I think Conor can do the exact same. All he would need is that one night, and you get the bug. Logan got the bug. At first, he was just doing it as a bit of fun on the side, and then he was like, ‘this is really fun, I love doing this.’ Conor just needs to jump in and I’m more than happy to be the guy who brings him in.”
