I don't know about you, but do proceedings between Notorious and WWE seem to be moving really really quickly?

Not had a few hours passed since Conor McGregor shockingly announced his retirement from the octagon, but he'd followed WWE and a load of key personnel, they'd followed him back, and WWE's YouTube channel had released a video speculating whether he'd be in the ring one day.

I mean, why would they tease us like that unless there's something in the works already? WWE could use his undeniable star power while the majority of their roster is out injured at the moment.

To me, Conor would a great heel manager in WWE. He's got the wit and talking skills to more than pull it off. It would just be a case of WWE trying to ensure a couple of swear words didn't slip through the cracks during a live show - then again Vince did say f****** live on RAW in the build up to WrestleMania so anything goes apparently.

There's no denying that he'd be great in a match too - Brock Lesnar anybody?

Nevertheless, if they can broker some kind of deal - that could come close to bankrupting WWE if they're not careful - McGregor would be a mighty fine acquisition.
