While appearing on Good Morning Britain, Triple H discussed rumors of Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey possibly having a match in WWE. Triple H teased the idea that both of them could work with the company at some point.

When asked about Conor McGregor, Triple H responded, “Well Conor McGregor has said a lot of things about WWE in the past. I don’t have a problem with it because he said I was a (???), which is great. But he said a lot of stuff about our talent in the past. Conor McGregor comes in, it’s not going to be an easy go.”

When Ronda Rousey’s name was brought up, Triple H responded, “She is very interested and our business has always been huge fan and that’s where the “Rowdy Ronda” came from. I think she’s interested in the opportunity. I’m interested in offering her the opportunity. We have some talking to do.”

Representatives within WWE are claiming that The UK Sun’s report about Conor McGregor possibly having a match at next year’s WrestleMania event is “completely” inaccurate.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter they have been told that there haven’t been any talks between WWE and McGregor. The belief is that with Ronda Rousey expected to be part of the event next year, it’s very unlikely that WWE would spend the extra money to bring in McGregor as well.

Speaking of Ronda, she continues to train with Brian Kendrick in California for a WWE match.

While speaking with Sports Illustrated, Braun Strowman talked about his off-camera relationship with Roman Reigns and mentioned that he believes Roman Reigns and himself are the best athletes in the world.

“Roman’s work ethic is just like mine. We go out every night, we give 100 percent of what we have to go, we put our bodies on the line and we know that, at the end of the night, we’re going to have you on your feet, you’re going to be hoarse, and you’ll be going crazy because we did our job entertaining you. From top to bottom, we’re the best athletes in the world.”

When asked about UFC Fighter Conor McGregor possibly joining WWE, Strowman suggested that 205 Live would be a better fit.

“McGregor might make it on 205 Live, but he doesn’t want to step in the ring with me.”

The announcement of Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor in a boxing match: “I think that is the – look I’ll go a step further and say all sports is entertainment, the news is entertainment today, it’s just the way of the world. This is what people do with their time. It’s no different. I think there is an interest level there. Can a world class boxer, probably the best ever, can he stand in the ring with an MMA guy and can that MMA guy bring his striking skills up to the level of someone, like say, a Floyd Mayweather? The one thing it will be, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is entertaining. One thing Floyd Mayweather is, is entertaining. One thing Conor McGregor is, is entertaining, and it’s funny that you say it’s sports entertainment. I’d invite both guys, that really want to showcase what they do, I invite both guys to come to Monday Night RAW because there is no bigger platform that they can have to show the world, and tell the world, who they are and why they’re the man.”

Previously Working With Mayweather: “Yeah, Floyd got involved then. I trained Floyd to step into the ring with The Big Show, which was a big highlight for me, and he did. He got it the ring at our Super Bowl, Floyd is a big fan and has a huge respect for what we do, we have stayed in touch over the years, and here he is getting thrown out of the ring by the Big Show. At the level of athlete that he’s at, for Floyd to agree to that kind of stuff was amazing for us, but you know he’s a huge fan and couldn’t have been more engaged in what we do. The Mayweather / McGregor fight, people can say what they want, but it’ll be entertaining.”

Possibility of doing a match with boxing star Gennady Golovkin (GGG): “It would be the perfect fight, we have a little beef over the three letter thing going on, maybe. It’s funny you should – we had a date at Madison Square Garden for GGG’s last fight and we made an arrangement to allow GGG to have that date for his last fight – there’s a little bit of history there. I’d love to get in the ring with him and see what we can do.”

More! /vince-russos-the-brand-recap-mayweather-vs-mcgregor-wheres-finn-balors-demon-who-gave-the-big-show-his-name-more/ Tue, 20 Jun 2017 12:09:32 +0000 /vince-russos-the-brand-recap-mayweather-vs-mcgregor-wheres-finn-balors-demon-who-gave-the-big-show-his-name-more/ Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane and Glenn Gilbertti (Disco Inferno).

Russo opens today’s show speaking about the announced match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather. Russo thinks that McGregor’s youth could play more of a factor in this bout than people think, but Gilbertti says that McGregor has no chance in this fight whatsoever. Mayweather might be 40 years old, but he’s still in terrific shape and his age will not be a factor in this fight.

Russo believes that since this fight is scheduled for August, the hype surrounding it will have a negative impact on WWE and their build towards this year’s SummerSlam. Gilbertti doesn’t believe WWE will be affected by that because they have their niche audience, and those people are going to watch the product anyways.

Even though WWE’s television ratings continue to decline, Gilbertti doesn’t think WWE really cares about the ratings at this point, as long as their WWE Network numbers are still strong. The Network is their new major revenue stream, and the television ratings have taken a back seat. Gilbertti mentions that it’ll be interesting to see what happens to WWE’s shrinking ratings once Brock Lesnar and John Cena retire, because they’re WWE’s two biggest stars right now.
