There has often been much speculation that UFC great Conor McGregor would eventually find himself in WWE.

Not only is the controversial fighter a widely recognized figure, but he is also known for hyping up his fights with a significant amount of trash talk.

Additionally, McGregor has often been seen interacting with WWE figures, most notably when he threatened that he would suplex Paul Heyman “on sight.”

Former Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes even said that he would like to see McGregor “dip his toes in into the water with WWE.”

Despite all of this, McGregor has never found his way into the squared circle, and one current WWE Superstar thinks that is for a good reason.

In an interview with the Irish Mirror, WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria was asked if she thought fellow Dubliner McGregor would ever appear in WWE. Her answer was simple and to the point:

“He doesn’t have what it takes.”

Valkyria then refused to comment on McGregor’s chances of becoming President of Ireland.

Valkyria isn’t the only person to share this sentiment about McGregor. The aforementioned Paul Heyman has a similar opinion, although he had a bit of a longer explanation.

“I am still thriving on top. I would like to see if Conor McGregor, at 57, is still thriving at the very top of his entire industry,” Heyman said, per Jeremy Lambert of Fightful. “We’ll see if he’s even relevant, we’ll see if he even lives to 57 with his lifestyle.”

“If he beats me up, who cares? I’m a 57-year-old Wise Man. I’m a Jew boy from the Bronx. This is a tough fight for Conor McGregor? I don’t see him picking a fight with Roman Reigns. Then again, little people do what little minds tell them to do, and that’s okay. I like the little guy, he’s funny to me. Like a clown. He’s here for my amusement.”

Valkyria has quickly established herself as one of the best technical wrestlers on the WWE roster.

Since her WWE debut in 2020, Valkyria has had incredible matches with the likes of Becky Lynch, Roxanne Perez, Meiko Satamura, Iyo Sky, and Dakota Kai.

Valkyria has taken home the NXT Women’s Championship, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, and is currently the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion.
