WWE Invites Two Former UFC Superstars To Talk During WrestleMania 31 Weekend?

[Prince Bálor]

Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen said on TSN's Off The Record that WWE called him about meeting to talk during WrestleMania 31 weekend in Santa Clara, California. He said that WWE also invited former UFC fighter Wanderlei Silva to the event to talk.

"I got a call, WWE said, 'Look, we got WrestleMania, we have a Hall of Fame show coming up in March. If you want to come out, come out, we want to talk to you about some stuff.' They laid out at that," Sonnen said. "If they are buying me a plane ticket, they're giving me a ticket to the show, I do enjoy that product."

"I don't know what we are talking about, but I'll give you a little bit of a scoop: Wanderlei Silva was also invited. I don't know if he's accepted and I don't know if the two are related, but there you go."

This is especially interesting with WWE reportedly announcing a partnership with MMA apparel company Tapout soon. We've reached out to WWE for comment and will keep you updated on the story.

Sonnen would be a natural that I think would pick up the business quickly. As for wanderlei, I have no clue what that's about.

I've been calling for Chael to have a role within WWE for as long as I can remember. Hopefully this is the beginning of something for him in pro wrestling.

Wanderlei though? Lmao wtf. Dude barely speaks English
