Michael Chandler open to potential WWE crossover
Chandler appeared on the February 19, 2024, episode of WWE Raw, where he called out Conor McGregor, and has since spoken openly about a potential future with WWE.
In June 2025, Chandler told The Schmo Show at Fanatics Fest in New York City that he had spoken with Triple H about a potential WWE contract.
“I was talking to WWE, talking to Triple H about my WWE contract. So we’re trying to make that happen,” Chandler said.
“He knows I’m a fan of WWE and him and the brand. He’s obviously a fan of what I bring to the table from an entertainment standpoint, what I can do on the microphone. So it’s always fun conversations. Who knows if anything is ever going to happen, but he knows I want that door to be open and I think he wants that door to be open too.”
