WWE/MMA News: Roman Reigns replies to Conor McGregor's comments

Short fused?

After Chris Jericho replied to Conor McGregor’s comments about WWE Superstars being ‘p*ssies’ by saying that he didn’t know who the Irishman was, it would seem that his fellow WWE Superstars aren’t inclined to be equally diplomatic about it.

Especially after McGregor compounded the heat that is being directed to him by claiming that he would “slap the head off” the entire roster, going one step too far for the WWE Universe to take it lying down.

And the latest WWE Superstar to be drawn into the beef is Roman Reigns who had this to say:
 

Your the size of my leg. Shut up. https://t.co/fBVEdf8hE1

There were suggestions that McGregor making disparaging comments about the WWE was all part of a possible storyline that would see him crossover into the world of pro-wrestling to return the Brock Lesnar favour that the UFC asked of WWE for their marquee UFC 200 event.

And Roman’s riposte to McGregor has done nothing to allay those rumours. 

So is a Rousey-esque WWE appearance in store for McGregor in the future? Or does the Irishman really hold the industry of pro-wrestling in contempt? Either way, this thread hasn’t shown any signs of fizzling out quite yet.
