Roman Reigns' brutal response to Conor McGregor's disrespectful tweet is truly iconic

For years now, fans of both WWE and UFC have been clamouring to see Conor McGregor work for Vince McMahon.

Due to McGregor’s star power and undeniable charisma, many fans feel that he’d fit into the world of WWE like a glove.

Interestingly enough, Reigns wasn’t the only WWE Superstar to fire some shots back at McGregor, with former WWE Champion Chris Jericho also taking issue with his comments.

It’s been nearly six years since McGregor’s exchange with Roman and Jericho, and he’s still yet to appear in a WWE ring.

As the years go by, it seems increasingly unlikely that the Irishman
