Though he’s now embroiled in trouble resulting from a positive drug test related to his MMA career, WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar hasn’t completely written off a possible return to the Octagon. “Come here, face-to-face, Conor, and say it to my face”, Lesnar continued. First, McGregor called the roster “messed up pussies”.

“I’ve got a few challenges to overcome before I can get there but I don’t know”.
While Lesnar maintains that he rarely pays attention to anything said about him in the press, he clearly saw what McGregor had to say about him and the rest of the WWE superstars in recent comments aimed at the company.
Interviewed ahead of Summer Slam and on the eve of UFC 202 Saturday night, Lesnar took exception to McGregor’s trash-talking of the WWE. “Otherwise leave me and WWE out of it because I came to your arena and kicked ass”.
McGregor competing in a WWE ring would represent a disadvantage for him. “Now if you want and you’re so fucking tough, come to our arena and try to kick some ass”.
Conor McGregor and Brock Lesnar share the same enigmatic air but “The Notorious” is definitely not in the good graces of the former UFC heavyweight champion.
McGregor would be out of his element in the WWE, where size is key, and McGregor certainly would be undersized compared to top stars like Roman Reigns and Randy Orton. “There will be a day, maybe, (my fans) might see me back in the Octagon”.
There have been rumblings that McGregor could be appearing at Wrestlemania 33 in Orlando next year and has been taunting the WWE wrestlers to set up an angle at the big event.
“I have thought about it”.

One thing is undeniable, McGregor would have enormous star power if he did ever cross over into the WWE and it certainly would become a huge event.
