Conor McGregor is a three-time UFC champion who recently announced his retirement from the sport in June. Following that, WWE is still rumored to sign him in a deal in the future so that they can use him as a special attraction just like they have done with another former UFC Champion Brock Lesnar or even Ronda Rousey.
However, on the flip side of the coin, Conor McGregor is someone who is infamous for his Notorious One gimmick who often went bad-mouth. Previously, he took shots against WWE superstars due to the scripted fights. This made the pro-wrestling industry go irate about him. Since then, no sign has been received whether WWE is indeed interested to sign him or not.
