Tom Aspinall discusses post-UFC career plans, makes opinion clear on potential WWE move: "It's a buzz"

UFC interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall recently shared his plans for after his mixed martial arts retirement. Once his time in the cage comes to an end, he could join WWE.

Recently, Aspinall appeared inside the WWE ring in Manchester, England alongside Gunther and WWE champion Cody Rhodes. It was the same venue where he knocked out Curtis Blaydes in the first round to defend the interim heavyweight title at UFC 304 this past July.

In an interview with SafestCasinoSites, Aspinall discussed his experience entering the WWE ring and noted that professional wrestling is not as dangerous as MMA.

The Brit hinted that he could join WWE after his UFC career, but he is currently focused on MMA and his work as an analyst, which includes sharing his knowledge on the TNT Sports network in the UK:

“Absolutely, mate. That’s what I want to do in my post-fighting career. I’ve got my show on TNT Sports now, so I like the punditry side as well. I’m very passionate about MMA, it’s been my life for as long as I can remember. I like to think that I know more about MMA than most and I can offer some kind of knowledge and breakdown to people who don’t understand MMA as well as I do. I think I’ve definitely got that to offer and I think I do that well, it’s something I enjoy and something that I want to continue to do.”

Aspinall continued:

“But WWE is something new and exciting for me as well. I really enjoyed it, it’s a buzz. It’s another way to get out there in front of an audience and do something not quite as dangerous, but still get the thrill. I don’t know, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. I’ve still got a lot that I want to do in my MMA career. I’m not saying that I want to hang up the gloves just yet, but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy it. I enjoyed the whole thing.”
