Paddy Pimblett is the latest MMA fighter to express interest in joining WWE.
Ronda Rousey, Ken Shamrock, Matt Riddle, and Shayna Baszler are all skilled MMA fighters who have entered professional wrestling. Now that WWE and UFC are under the same umbrella as TKO Group Holdings, the possibility of crossovers has widened.
During a recent interview with DAZN, Paddy Pimblett admitted that he has considered joining WWE because he has long loved the brand. He also extended an invitation to Triple H to join the WWE Universe.
"Yes, I have thought about that to be honest," he admitted. "I have because I used to love the WWE growing up. Shawn Michaels, The Heartbreak Kid, is my favorite fighter. I'd love to Sweet Chin Music someone in the cage in the UFC. D-Generation X, when I was even younger, X-Pac was my favorite wrestler.
"So yeah, I would. WWE pays big money as well, and you've got to have a character, you've got to have a personality, and I've got a personality, so it would work. So yeah, Triple H, if you ever wanted to sign me up, just let me know I'll make an appearance for some cash."
In the early days of this crossover, WWE Superstars appeared in the crowd at UFC events.
Michael Chandler even appeared on the February 19 episode of WWE Raw to call out Conor McGregor. Learn more about that here.
Paddy will fight Bobby Green in Lightweight action at UFC 304 on July 27. Fightful MMA will have full coverage.
