Are WWE planning for Roman Reigns vs Conor Mcgregor at Summerslam 2023?

The former UFC star started a war of words on Twitter against the current WWE Universal Championship

There has been this rumor going around the pro-wrestling universe that the coming Summerslam Roman Reigns isn't going to fight any WWE superstar but instead "The Tribal Chief" is going to go one-on-one against "The Notorious" Conor McGregor who is from the UFC. If anybody knows about UFC, then you surely know who Conor McGregor is. He surely knows how to create hype. McGregor has been the best when it comes to talking on mic.

The rumor surfaced because Conor McGregor started a war of words about Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman on social media and this time he seems to be hinting that something is happening at SummerSlam in Detroit.

McGregor tweeted, "SummerSlam I'll pull up on the yacht. Roman and Paul out the bus". McGregor's tweets were in response to what Paul Heyman said on the Ariel Helwani show last month.

What did Paul Heyman say to anger Conor McGregor?

For perspective, just after the WWE-UFC-Endeavor deal was revealed, there was a Twitter exchange. Heyman labeled McGregor a Roman Reigns wannabe, to which McGregor responded by suggesting he could break Heyman's jaw in three places. In an interview with Ariel Helwani last month, Heyman said of McGregor's threat:

"I'm not a grandfather, but I appreciate the fact that I'm old enough to be one, number one, and I'm 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. We'll see if he's even relevant at 57. We'll see if he even lives to 57 with his lifestyle now, number two. Number three, it's not that he tweeted to me, I picked the fight with him. Let's be honest about this."

Paul added, "He, as a Roman Reigns wannabe, did the Paul Heyman style, you know, title on each shoulder, and, you know, gave a shout-out to himself, of course, he did. You know, the ultimate self-promoter in Conor McGregor, you know, standing nine feet tall and weighing 155 pounds and five foot four. So, with that in mind, I said, 'Look at Conor McGregor, a Roman Reigns wannabe', and of course, you know, he said, 'Oh, be careful Grandpa. I'll break your jaw in three places.’"
