Sheamus recently spoke with SportsKeeda to promote the upcoming WWE UK Tour in November. Here are the highlights.
As an Irishman yourself, there’s been a boom of wrestlers coming up to the main roster. There’s been Finn Balor, there’s been Becky Lynch…do you think Conor McGregor will eventually come to WWE?
“I really don’t know. As far as I know he’s still going to be fighting for a really long time. I mean there’s a Cruiserweight Division now, so maybe McGregor can join the Cruiserweight Division. But I really don’t know…it’s really up to him. He’s obviously got a lot of charisma,I don’t know…if Vince McMahon feels that there’s an opportunity to make money he’ll be here.”
SK: What did you think of Conor McGregor’s comments on WWE?
“I thought it was a publicity stunt. That’s all it was. Summerslam was a day after his PPV. He’d lost a lot of steam. I said so in the tweet I sent out. He was just trying to sell tickets. That’s all it was.”
SK: (Laughter) Perfect. Do you prefer working as a babyface or as a heel?
“I prefer working. Full Stop. I just want to be in the ring. Doesn’t matter what I’m doing as long as I’m having fun. I’ve been sidelined twice before, so I want to go there and have fun, tear the house down and beat the crap out of my opponent. I want to have a great successful day at the office. I just love performing. Boo me, cheer me. If people are throwing popcorn at me, if women are throwing knickers at me…doesn’t matter as long as I’m having fun.”
