Austin Theory steps up and challenges Conor McGregor… to a potential handicap match that would also feature Grayson Waller.
With TKO Group Holdings being the umbrella for both WWE and UFC now. The topic of crossover matchups comes up often.
During an appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Austin Theory expressed a desire to face anyone from UFC while also volunteering himself and his partner, Grayson Waller, for a potential fight with Conor McGregor.
"Wow, man. Is it Conor McGregor? Is that who we want? Is that who wants to step up to Austin Theory, the undefeated Tag Team Champion? I mean, maybe Conor is so tough. Maybe he just wants to fight both the Tag Team Champions. So maybe he has a handicap match because, his ego, because me and Grayson Waller, We don't have egos. We're very set straight. We work hard. We're champions. We show up to work, only if we're not busy. So, Conor McGregor, maybe that's the crossover, but really any of the UFC guys, I mean, that'd be pretty cool to see. Watching those punches go from that to up on my shoulders into an A-Town Down. You're not ready for that, but I'm down. I'm excited. Why not?"
