5 things we learned from WWE Superstar Riddle's Sportskeeda interview

#3 Riddle on if Conor McGregor would transition well into a WWE Superstar

Conor McGregor has long been rumored to eventually make the transition into a WWE Superstar

WWE Superstar Riddle is one of a select few people who have successfully transitioned from the UFC to WWE.

One UFC fighter constantly linked with WWE is former UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor. When asked how The Notorious One would fare in WWE, Riddle admitted that despite his smaller stature, McGregor knows how to sell tickets and events:

"He's very small. But he's Conor McGregor, the guy puts butts in seats. The guy has a mouth on him. I don't know if he would pass the PG WWE code. But I guess, he could do his best. At the end of the day, it's just like Jake Paul or any of them. I don't know how they're doing it, they get people talking. They're controversial, they make money with fights and draws. Conor is great at that. Honestly, in the realm and world I'm in, I try to do the best I can with it."

I didn't mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans. What I meant to say was that I'd slap the head off your entire roster. And twice on Sunday's.

When discussing whether Conor McGregor would be a good fit for WWE, Riddle stated that if McGregor was willing to put in the work and train to become a WWE Superstar, then McGregor could be a success inside the squared circle:

"Do I think he would be a good fit for WWE? If he's willing to do the work and work hard and put his time in, yes. Just like Ronda was good and just like I'm good. But if you think you're going to come in and collect a pay day, which would probably happen, it would probably be more like a Cain [Valesquez] situation"
