Fans have since reacted to this post with overwhelming enthusiasm, expressing their eagerness to witness this potential crossover. Many of them eagerly anticipated the possibility of Bruce Buffer announcing the likes of Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
Although a significant portion of the WWE Universe was eager to see Buffer at WrestleMania, there were those who believed that Samantha Irvin deserved the opportunity, especially in light of her recent accomplishments.
It will be interesting to see if we ever get to see Bruce Buffer inside a squared circle.
Dana White said that former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon made a major deal for UFC
UFC President Dana White recently credited the former WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon for securing a major deal for the Las Vegas-based promotion.
UFC will be collaborating with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority (SGEA) to organize its first-ever show in Saudi Arabia. In an interview with Sports Business Journal, White revealed that McMahon was responsible for finalizing this deal.
"It was Vince McMahon [who arranged UFC’s Saudi deal]. It was 100 percent Vince McMahon. He made every call, he didn’t make one move without picking up the phone and calling me, and getting me in the loop, and seeing if I was cool with this and that, and he went from being, oddly enough, I don’t know why, an enemy [of UFC’s], to being an unbelievable, incredible partner," White said.
It will be interesting to see how the two companies collaborate under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella in the years ahead.
