Stephanie McMahon has described Conor McGregor as a "perfect fit" for WWE.
The Irishman made the transition from UFC to the boxing ring earlier this year for his fight with Floyd Mayweather, and now questions are swirling around his future.
The Notorious has been linked with a switch to Sports Entertainment previously, due to his mic skills and out-of-ring persona, having become one of the biggest stars in both boxing or MMA.
And WWE's chief brand officer and daughter of owner Vince McMahon, believes that McGregor's authenticity and swagger makes certainly appeals.

"I think Conor would be a perfect fit with WWE," said McMahon, speaking at a Leaders in Sports convention at Stamford Bridge.
"He certainly has the personality and the athletic ability, the appeal.
"He speaks his mind, he's very genuine and authentic and he has a hell of a Vince McMahon swagger."

In August, WWE superstar Chris Jericho predicted McGregor to WWE was only a matter of time.
"Will Conor McGregor end up in the WWE? I think it’s a no-brainer," he told Sports Illustrated. "It might not be this year or the year after that because there’s a lot of money that you got to spend to get him in there.
"But a guy that yappy, who knows the concept of cutting a wrestling promo - I think Conor will definitely end up there, it’s just a matter of when he wants to."
