UFC fighter Colby Covington is no stranger to controversy. He’s made a name for himself in the Octagon with his brash personality, trash talk, and impressive fighting skills. But could he also be on his way to conquering the world of WWE wrestling?
In a recent interview with submission radio, Covington spoke about his excitement for the potential merger between UFC and WWE. “I think it would be great for both sports,” he said. “I do see myself crossing over to the wrestling world at some point.”
Will we see Colby Covington in WWE?
Covington’s enthusiasm for WWE is not new. He’s attended WWE events in the past. He has even expressed his admiration towards wrestling stars like Kurt Angle and Becky Lynch, and the former UFC champion Ronda Rousey. But now, with the potential merger between UFC and WWE looming, Covington sees an opportunity to take his career in a new direction.
‘Chaos’ thinks that the potential merger would be a massive draw. And in that regard, he wants to clinch titles in the wrestling circuit as well. The Miami fighter wants to hold multiple belts across these two combat sports promotions.
While it’s unclear what exactly Covington’s future in WWE might look like, he seems to have a clear idea of what he brings to the table. He thinks that his personality and style would translate reasonably well to WWE. He claimed to be an avid WWE follower. And from his years of observations and fandom, Colby thinks that he can bring a lot to the table.
Of course, not all UFC fighters who have tried their hand at wrestling have been successful. Having said that, Covington believes that he has what it takes to make it in the world of wrestling. He feels he has the athleticism and the charisma to fit right into WWE. The only thing he needs is just to get the opportunity. He is quite sure that he will be able to make the most of it.
Covington names his WWE GOAT
As for how he would approach the transition from UFC to WWE, Covington says he’s ready to put in the work. He would take it as seriously as he has taken MMA. ‘Chaos’ claimed that he would train hard. He was willing to do whatever it takes to be successful in wrestling. He mentioned that he would look up to Roman Reigns in this regard. By tagging him as the GOAT of WWE, he claimed that he would like to emulate Reigns in the WWE ring.
Covington’s potential future in WWE wrestling is an exciting prospect to consider. With the potential merger between UFC and WWE on the horizon, Covington sees an opportunity to expand his horizons and make a name for himself in a new arena.
While there are no concrete plans in place, Covington’s enthusiasm and skill set could make him a valuable asset to the world of wrestling if given the opportunity.
