This one is, admittedly, a bit of a long shot.

But with WWE and the UFC now operating under the same TKO banner, and Lightweight fighter Michael Chandler even popping up on Monday Night Raw recently, it wouldn't be that surprising to see more and more UFC faces pop up in the sports entertainment world in the coming months/years - and possibly even on the night after this year's 'Mania.

The MMA organisation also boasts a current champion who has made no secret of his desire to step in-between the ropes.

Said fighter is none other than current UFC Welterweight Champion Leon 'Rocky' Edwards, with the British/Jamaican star telling Newsbeat just last year, "Get me on the top rope, I'll give it a go for sure."

Edwards has already shown up on WWE programming during 2022's Clash at the Castle PLE and is clearly a big fan, too.

And while Dane White likely wouldn't be in a rush to risk one of his top champ's getting injured outside of his Octagon, it does still seem like only a matter of time before a few more UFC faces join the likes of Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler and more in swapping MMA for wrasslin' - even if only for a match or two.

Can you imagine 'Rocky' himself popping up on the Raw after WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia to challenge a cocky heel to a match in Europe at the Backlash PLE?

Over to you, champ.
