Conor McGregor teases joining WWE with sale imminent

Conor McGregor has teased swapping the UFC for WWE.

The Notorious posted an image of himself holding both UFC and WWE gold in a social media post during Wrestlemania 39.

McGregor posted the image as rumours swirled that the WWE is about to be purchased by Endeavor, the same company which owns UFC.

"Congrats to the @ufc now worth a cool Proper $12bn. Wow! Endeavor bout to scoop the @WWE now also. Incredible. What a powerhouse," wrote McGregor on Twitter.

McGregor has long been linked to WWE and has hinted in the past that he would be up for joining the company and taking part in storylines.

So far, McGregor has yet to make an appearance for WWE. However, he has traded barbs with promotional top dog Roman Reigns on a number of occasions.

The WWE has been up for sale for a number of months and Endeavor are seemingly in pole position to purchase the company.

Vince McMahon's return to the company, just months after he departed in controversial circumstances, has sped along the sale process.

The 77-year-old reportedly hopes to sell WWE for around $9 billion.
