What if it was all as set-up? Do late night backstage handshake only deals between UFC President Dana White and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon happen in untraceable locations? Was CM Punk a pawn on a giant UFC and WWE colored chessboard? Is Brock Lesnar also a pewter piece on this mythical playing field?
Always possible. Maybe. Could be. Likely.
As always these our rumors that have been talked about behind closed doors between MMA higher ups, so take them as rumors.
One of MMA’s best rumor in decades about millionaires trading secret moves with other millionaires might all circle back to a conspiracy theory wrapped in a beef alert , tied up and sealed with another rumor.
