Conor McGregor WWE stint? The Notorious calls out Vince McMahon on social media

It all began when Conor McGregor's personal media company, The MacLife hinted fans could see McGregor in WWE by sharing an edited photo of The Notorious with the UFC title and the WWE Championship over his shoulders. “All of the belts," they captioned the post. "Do you think we’ll ever see the McGregor billi (billionaire) strut in the WWE?"

The former two-division UFC world champion shared the picture on his Instagram story with the caption: "McGregor vs McMahon CEO Flashmatch". The 32-year-old made sure he got the attention of WWE by tagging Vince McMahon's daughter, Stephanie, in his story. 

While this does not mean Conor McGregor is heading to WWE anytime soon, it could imply McGregor is weighing up his options and at 32, he could jump ship to pro wrestling to earn yet another lucrative deal. The post could also mean that The Notorious has had a change of heart regarding the company, especially after he blasted WWE superstars in 2016 and called them "dweebs." The loud-mouthed fighter even took swipes at John Cena calling him 'a big fat, 40-year-old failed Mr Olympia m****rf****r."
