WWE News: WWE champion Drew McIntyre slams UFC star Conor McGregor on Twitter

After a picture of Conor McGregor donning both the WWE and UFC World titles went viral on social media, current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre took to Twitter and expressed his irritation at McGregor's stunt. Conor McGregor’s media company initially teased his possible move to WWE by calling out Vince McMahon and Drew McIntyre hit back at Conor McGregor by referring to one of his infamous mugshots. He also mocked Conor McGregor's whiskey brand Proper 12 in the tweet.

Conor McGregor was taken into police custody a few years ago for punching a 70-year-old man in a pub in Dublin. WWE Champion Drew McIntyre took a dig at the Irish MMA star by bringing the incident up. Drew McIntyre took to Twitter and advised Conor McGregor to stop short of thinking about moving to the WWE Universe. “You’re just the latest guy thinking he can have his PR team stick my title on his shoulder & walk into our world. Stick to whiskey McTapper,” wrote Drew McIntyre.

The WWE-UFC crossover rivalry comes as little surprise to combat sports fans. Throughout the years, several wrestlers and athletes have paved their way in both the promotions including the likes of Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar and CM Punk. The idea of Conor McGregor making his way into the promotion, therefore, may not be as farfetched as it appears. McGregor would also make an ideal heel in the company, courtesy of the brash and arrogant image he has cultivated over the years.
