WWE champion Drew McIntyre says former dual weight UFC champion Conor McGregor wouldn’t stand a chance of beating Vince McMahon in the professional wrestling ring.

On Wednesday (July 1) McGregor posted out the below picture which shows him holding the UFC belt and WWE belt, the Irishman’s caption read. “McMahon vs McGregor CEO Flashmatch.”

Now 74 years old WWE CEO McMahon now longer competes in the ring. He hasn’t been seen in action since losing to Kevin Owens three years ago. McIntyre who became WWE champion by defeating former UFC heavyweight king Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36 has now spoken out against McGregor.

‘The Scottish Psychopath’ referenced McGregor’s infamous run-in with an elderly man in a pub when saying ‘Notorious’ wouldn’t stand a chance if he chose to fight McMahon, he wrote.

“Big man @TheNotoriousMMA picking a fight with ANOTHER 70 year old, you couldn’t drop a guy in a pub, you have no chance against Vince. You’re just the latest guy thinking he can have his PR team stick my title on his shoulder & walk into our world. Stick to whiskey McTapper.”

McGregor hasn’t fought in MMA since beating Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 246 earlier this year. The lightweight superstar has previously spoken about wanting to stay active as possible in 2020 but due to the ongoing global pandemic and the log-jammed lightweight title picture he has been unable to do so. This has triggered his retirement from the sport for the third time in four years.

McGregor has since spoken to reaffirm his retirement and it has been verified by UFC boss Dana White and his long-time coach John Kavanagh. It now appears that McGregor is plotting a move into the WWE although McIntyre seems to think the former UFC champion should stay in his lane.

Do you think Conor McGregor will move into the WWE?

Colby Covington has already kickstarted a feud with a WWE champion — and he hasn’t even joined pro wrestling yet.

Covington recently signaled his intentions of joining the WWE as he planned on becoming a superstar in 2021. He also notably spoke of how current WWE champion Drew McIntyre was a good matchup for him despite the welterweight having a size disadvantage.

And wen McIntyre caught wind of those comments, he decided to mock Covington for his UFC 245 defeat to Kamaru Usman back in December.

“Surprised you’re still running your mouth @ColbyCovMMA after what @USMAN84kg did to it…”

McIntyre, of course, is referring to the broken jaw Covington suffered at the hands of Usman en route to a fifth-round TKO defeat.

“Chaos” certainly wasn’t going to let that dig slide as he responded soon after.

“@Dmcintyrewwe I know @fightbobby told me you were a big dumb Scottish Sasquatch, but the only thing broken that night was Marc Goddards morals and judgement. You don’t like my mouth? You can always try to shut it yourself big guy.”

Covington is still under contract with the UFC and doesn’t seem set on leaving the sport until he is able to claim undisputed welterweight gold.

However, the wheels are already in motion for a potential feud with McIntyre whenever he does decide to change career paths.

What do you make of Covington and McIntyre’s interactions?
