TJR Wrestling

Triple H attended UFC 205 this past Saturday which was headlined with a Lightweight Title match between Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez taking on challenger Conor McGregor, who is the current Featherweight Champion. The night ended with McGregor beating Alvarez and becoming the first fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold two titles from two different weight classes.

While at the event, Triple H spoke with The Telegraph about wanting Conor McGregor in the WWE. Triple H said that McGregor’s got it all and that his weight wouldn’t be an issue considering the fact that you don’t have to weigh 300 pounds any more to be a star in the WWE.

“He could come over, he’s got it all, man – he’s got the personality, the skills, the talk. He’s an entertainer, for sure. What does he walk around at? 180lbs? I have smaller guys now in the WWE. We have 200lb guys who are stars. You don’t need to be 300lbs any more.

“He could do just as well as Floyd Mayweather when he fought the Big Show. That really worked. Conor could do it for sure.”

Triple H also tweeted the following regarding Conor McGregor today.
