Conor McGregor: Fans were not happy after Stephanie McMahon teased WWE run for UFC star in 2019

WWE fans were not happy when Stephanie McMahon teased that Conor McGregor would be joining the company in 2019.

While speculation has diminished over the last few years, fans really thought that McGregor would be coming into WWE around 2018 and 2019.

After WrestleMania 35, McGregor took to Twitter to congratulate fellow Irish star Becky Lynch on her main event win.

The UFC star then teased coming into WWE, questioning if he could do what WWE Superstars do in the ring, as can be seen below.
