Former UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor has had a heated rivalry with Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018, which could reignite if they both find their way to WWE.

Triple H has long expressed interest in bringing the Irish mixed martial artist to WWE. It came after Finn Balor shared a picture of action figures of McGregor, Triple H, and himself inside a ring.

The UFC fighter responded to Balor's post by teasing a potential showdown with the former NXT Champion. The Game was quick to pick up on the action and extended an open invitation to the former UFC Lightweight Champion.

WWE Superstar Sheamus believes a jump from the octagon to the squared circle would suit his compatriot.

"He's teased [coming to WWE] a couple of times (...) I think WWE would suit him down to the ground. You know, we've had a lot of people come in and out, [Floyd] Mayweather came in, a lot of celebrities have come in, a lot of sports people," he told Digital Spy.

The Celtic Warrior insisted it is just a matter of time before McGregor joins WWE.

"So I don't think anyone would raise eyebrows if he came in to WWE. I don't think it's if, I think it's a matter of when to be honest."
