TMZ Sports recently caught up with former WWE Champion Chris Jericho while at the airport. As seen in the video below, Jericho double downed on his prediction that UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor will eventually join the WWE.
“It’s an easy thing to imagine, I would say,” Jericho said. “I don’t think he’s gonna join in two years, not now with all the money he made. But it could happen at some point. He’s got the personality for it, that’s for sure.”
Jericho thinks that McGregor’s personality makes him a perfect fit for the sports entertainment company. However, “Y2J” believes that it will take a substantial amount of money to get McGregor interested in competing in the squared circle.
“It depends on how much money he can generate, which I think would be a lot,” Jericho said. “He just made $100 million, so he’s not coming in for peanuts, right? It’s wrestling, so it could be against anybody as long as the story is good,” Jericho said. “It’s all show business.”
