Current UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya has expressed interest in making a one-off appearance in WWE.
Endeavor agreed to buy Vince McMahon’s company back in April, and will merge with the UFC later this year as TKO Group Holdings. One potential effect of the deal is UFC fighters crossing over to RAW and SmackDown, and even NXT.
One fighter who is well suited to professional wrestling is Adesanya, who said Adam’s apple on YouTube that he is open to joining WWE. He revealed that he is a fan of wrestling, especially the Attitude Era, and would be interested in getting an appearance for once.
“It was the family time of the day,” said Adesanya. “I’ll do it for once. I like WWE and, you know, the WWF back in the day. That was an era, the Attitude era. But for me, it wouldn’t be a major thing because I like to be the writer of my own story.” (1:45 – 2:01)
UFC superstars crossing over to RAW and SmackDown will be possible once the merger is officially complete. It will be interesting to see how Vince McMahon, Triple H, and the creative team incorporate some of the biggest MMA fighters into the product.
