WrestleMania 34 rumors are starting to rear their ugly exciting heads once again, and we’ve got a great one for you from the UK Sun, who claim UFC superstar Conor McGregor is going to make his pro wrestling debut at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on April 8th.
The WWE is no stranger to UFC crossovers. In 2015, Ronda Rousey made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 31 alongside The Rock, judo tossing Triple H and Stephanie McMahon around the ring. The moment earned her a ‘This is Awesome’ Moment of the Year Slammy, and the WWE has been courting her return to the squared circle ever since.
As for McGregor, the WWE tried to land him for WrestleMania 33 but reportedly wasn’t willing to pony up enough cash to seal the deal.
“I’d love to go into the WWE and have a real knock,” he said at the time. “Let one of them have a real knock and see what’s what. But we’ll see. The conversation’s ongoing. I’ve turned down some things. The conversation is ongoing.”
In the end an agreement couldn’t be reached, but the a source from the UK Sun claims everything seems to be lining up for McGregor to make a WrestleMania appearance in 2018. The Sun also claims that this would be both a one-off appearance, and would indeed be for a match against a top star, rather than a Ronda Rousey WrestleMania 31-type cameo. But it’s all still in the early stages right now, if it is indeed true.
Given all the smack he’s talked about some of the WWE’s biggest stars, we’re sure he’ll have no shortage of potential opponents to feud with.
