Some other notable names, such as former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley, CM Punk, and The Beast Brock Lesnar, are WWE names that went on to test their luck in MMA. Now, one of the top fighters in UFC, Paddy Pimblett, revealed that he is interested in competing in WWE.
While speaking to DAZN, Paddy Pimblett mentioned that he used to love watching the WWE as a child and that Shawn Michaels was his favorite professional wrestler.
“Yes, I have thought about that, to be honest. I have because I used to love the WWE growing up. Shawn Michaels, The Heartbreak Kid is my favorite fighter. I’d love to Sweet Chin Music someone in the cage in the UFC. D-Generation X, when I was even younger, X-Pac was my favorite wrestler.”
Pimblett is also aware that WWE pays well and mentioned that if Triple H wants him in WWE, he will make an appearance.
“So yeah, I would. WWE pays big money as well and you’ve got to have a character, you’ve got to have a personality and I’ve got a personality, so it would work. So yeah, Triple H, if you ever wanted to sign me up, just let me know I’ll make an appearance for some cash.”
