5 UFC stars that could transition to WWE

#3 Henry Cejudo

Henry Cejudo recently retired from the Ultimate Fighting Championship

Henry Cejudo's accolades in professional sports are there for all to see. A former gold medal winning Olympian, Cejudo also has achieved a glittering career in UFC.

Henry Cejudo is a former two division world champion. By holding the UFC Flyweight Championship and UFC Bantamweight Championship, he is the fourth fighter in UFC history to hold championships in two separate weight classes simultaneously. In addition to this, Henry Cejudo is also the second fighter in UFC history to successfully defend world championships in two separate weight classes.

However, after defeating Dominick Cruz at UFC 249 to retain the UFC Bantamweight Championship, Cejudo shocked the world by announcing his retirement from mixed martial arts.

Fresh off his UFC retirement, Henry Cejudo appeared on AEW Dynamite as part of Mike Tyson's entourage during "Iron" Mike's face off with Chris Jericho during the May 27 episode.

However, now that Henry Cejudo has briefly crossed over from the world of UFC to professional wrestling, the former Olympian could have his potential suitors. AEW and WWE would without a doubt be very interested in bringing someone the calibre of Henry Cejudo into their promotion.

Sports entertainment has a history of seeing olympic wrestlers such as Kurt Angle and Chad Gable cross over from amateur to professional wrestling. Could Henry Cejudo be next on that list?
