Conor McGregor to make his WWE debut in 2025 and feud with major SmackDown star? Exploring the possibility
Former UFC Lightweight and Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor is regarded as the face of Ultimate Fighting Championship. He holds multiple records, from being the most followed star to being the highest-paid fighter of the promotion and many more. Fans have been waiting for his return to the octagon for a while now. However, before seeing him back in the cage, fans could potentially see him inside the squared circle.
2025 will be a major year for WWE, and one of the major reasons behind it is the flagship show, Monday Night RAW, moving to Netflix in January. We are definitely going to see some big returns and names featured on the show. To make it even grander, TKO Group could plan a big crossover match, which could see Conor McGregor making his WWE debut next year. Recently, the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul was streamed live on Netflix, breaking major records.
To replicate the record, the Stamford-based company might book a wrestling match between former United States Champion Logan Paul and Conor McGregor. The Notorious is under contract with UFC, which is the sister company to WWE under TKO Group’s umbrella.
The Paul brothers and Conor have real-life tensions, which began when Jake Paul started talking trash about the 155-pound fighter and called him out to a boxing match. Recently, after defeating Dillon Danis, Logan Paul also challenged The Notorious to a boxing bout.
Triple H and the creative team could set a pro-wrestling match between these two, which could even feature Jake Paul. A recent report by WrestleVotes has suggested that the Stamford-based company is also interested in working with The Problem Child in the future.
Conor McGregor hinted at joining Cody Rhodes in WWE
A few weeks ago, Conor McGregor reshared a video featuring Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and YouTuber The Schmo trying The Notorious’ brand of whiskey on his official X account.
McGregor expressed his appreciation for The American Nightmare, who enjoyed his Proper whiskey, and he said, “See you soon,” to Rhodes. This is a significant clue that he is interested in working with the Stamford-based company.
It will be interesting to see if McGregor makes his debut in WWE next year when RAW moves to Netflix.
