A multiple-time MMA World Champion shared that his goal in a proposed WWE match would be to unmask Rey Mysterio.
The world of MMA and pro wrestling has frequently seen crossovers, with stars such as Brock Lesnar, Matt Riddle, Tank Abbott, and Ken Shamrock having transitioned between the octagon and the squared circle.
With the TKO merger, we could see fighters from the UFC crossing over, with one name being Michael Chandler.
The 3-time Bellator Lightweight Champion has spoken about his love for the WWE. In a recent interview with The Schmo, the UFC fighter said that facing Rey Mysterio would be a dream match for him.
He also added that he would want to unmask the WWE legend as he intends to be a heel if he joins the promotion. He said:
“Ooh, you know what I know, it’s a little bit old school but Rey Mysterio Jr would be freaking fun I know he’s still getting after it. Still has it, but man that would be a that would be a really fun one. It might be a little bit too acrobatic for me. I don’t want to start with the acrobats right away but give me a little bit of training, I’ll be doing double back flips off and landing on people.”
“[Would you try to pull his mask off?] I would. That would always be the goal because you know I’m going to be the heel. You know, I would go in there and absolutely f everybody up I would go out there and show my wrestling background, my fighting background is superior to every single one of these guys and I would go in there and I’d absolutely wreck shop and I would probably turn the entire organization on its head.”
Chandler would be a great addition to the WWE given his loud personality and athleticism.
