Endeavor Group acquired WWE this past April following which it was announced that WWE and UFC would be merged into a new publicly traded company called TKO with a valuation of $21 billion.
The merger has since caused fans to speculate whether WWE and UFC talents would be crossing over in the near future.
In a recent interview with Adam’s Apple, UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya addressed the crossover concept and hinted at a potential one-off storyline with WWE. He said,
“That was family time back in the day… I’ll do one-off. I love the WWE, you know, WWF back in the day — that was my era, the Attitude era. But for me, it’s not going to be a staple thing because I like to be the writer to my own story.”
