Could Brandon Moreno be the next fighter from the UFC to make their presence felt as a WWE Superstar?
WWE has already seen multiple UFC fighters join its ranks, such as Ronda Rousey, Matt Riddle, and Shayna Baszler, while Brock Lesnar returned to WWE after a successful UFC run.
Speaking on a recent edition of “The MMA Hour,” Mysterio recalled an interaction with Moreno which could be the first step towards a WWE career. He said,
“I saw a little bit of the footage on social media. We [Moreno & I] had the podcast about a month before that happened, and I was trying to convince him, ‘show me a little bit of MMA and I’ll teach you some of the ropes. Let’s get in the ring.’ He goes, ‘I would love to.’ We were kind of joking it out. I do believe he has a passion for wrestling and lucha. I would love to interact more with him in the future and hope that maybe one day he decides to step into a WWE ring.”
Last month, WWE & the UFC were officially merged and TKO Group Holdings, consisting of both companies, was launched.
