WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW head honcho Eric Bischoff has been very active on podcasts and interviews lately. He recently came forward and gave his opinion on a crossover match, which many believe to be a dream bout. Bischoff spoke about the match between Roman Reigns and Conor McGregor and believes it is far too distant to envisage.

UFC star Conor McGregor has always been very vocal in trash-talking about the WWE wrestlers, mocking the spirit of pro wrestling. Now that WWE and UFC have merged under the same parent company, Endeavor, fans have been speculating about fantasy matchups. One of those matches is between Conor McGregor and Roman Reigns, the two juggernauts in their respective spheres.

While Conor McGregor is one of the biggest names in UFC, Roman Reigns is WWE’s megastar of this generation. Therefore, Eric Bischoff feels that a match of that magnitude is unlikely to take place. While talking about ‘attraction’ matches to bring in a crowd, Bischoff also said that Roman Reigns is too big of a star to put in a match like that.

WWE has had some critically acclaimed celebrity matches in the past. Logan Paul, Bad Bunny, and Pat MacAfee have all received appreciation from the WWE Universe for their stellar performances. Hence, the prospect of McGregor getting into a WWE ring cannot be ruled out.
