Would this ever work as an option. would it even work as an entertaining match? maybe? there are multiple wrestlers trained in MMA. however most are not really in "MMA" shape would they be risking too much to possible injury" maybe? but wrestlers are getting injured at a high rate anyways.... But think if someone like Wade Barrett challenged Roman Reigns to a real fight... the outcome would definitely be more uncertain than it would be now. and of course if the person WWE doesn't want as champion wins.... they could always have them lose the title the next week... and who would really accept a match against Lesnar..  |

With all these injuries, this is the last thing we need.
Unless it's two spares like Ryback vs Bo Dallas. Let them beat the hell out of each other.

Google "Brawl for All." It wasn't MMA, but it was legitimate fights in the WWE and everyone HATED it.

That's literally the stupidest thing that could be done.

Brawl For All remains to this day to be one of the most hated angles ever.
So...no.
This is an incredibly horrible idea to put it bluntly.

Not even remotely a good idea. Putting an MMA fight on a wrestling card only makes the wrestling look more fake.
What's the angle? Hey, Im really pissed at you so next week on Raw, we are gonna fight for real, not like that stuff we always do but for real this time...
Nobody should be able to take several full speed kicks to the face, but it happens in wrestling all the time, while in an MMA fight there's 1 punch KO's. You can't mix the two.

When I read MMA rules I thought maybe incorporating their actual rules, not having shoot fights. One of the best introductions to wrestling was Shamrock bringing in the tap out from UFC. I also like the idea of ref stoppages (see Owens vs Zayn). But having and axial shoot fight? Nope.

it's been tried a few times...shamrock's 'lion's den' match, puter/angle, jeff jarrett's whole mma schtick, the brawl for it all...
...it all sucked.

I quite enjoyed Brawl For All. I thought it was hilarious how WWE had paved the way for Dr. Death and Jim Ross put him over like he was the greatest thing since BBQ sauce and he got his ass kicked.
The idea that the Brawl For All winner got a title shot was dumb and then pitting the winner against Buttterbean was even dumber. No issue with a toughman competition amongst WWE stars, but no need to bring a legit prize fighter to do battle.

Of all the awful fantasy booking ideas that have been posted over the years, this may be the worst ever.
