I imagine this is going to get locked, but the whole Conor deal was just a work gone wrong imo. I mean short term it blows up a card that not that many people outside of the core base were watching anyway and the suspense for Conor's return grows even greater. So Conor and Dana still win. Conor will pay some fines and serve an imaginary suspension but he's above the law in UFC.
Conor likely ends up doing something with WWE at some point. It's not going to be right now, though. He's too big of a star. WWE gets UFC stars when they become leftovers, not at their peak of popularity.

if ufc and Conor made enough money from it, anything is possible.
after the lesnar ufc deal where under wwe contract lesnar could still fight in ufc, the idea of mcgregor doing a few appaearances or even a wrestlemania match is well within the realms of possibility - as long as they don’t interfere with wwe’s plans.
either way, that bus incident is an embarrassment. if it’s not a complete act then the dude has serious emotional issues.

I figured Vince is getting excited about next year's Mania because of Roman Reigns celebrating his one year anniversary of being Universal Champion!

I really don't think that ends up being the case. He'll settle out of court with them for the lost payday and damages but it's not going to be anything he likely loses much sleep over. I'm willing to bet the increase on his next PPV bonus check from this media attention will make up for anything he loses from this in court. All of that assuming he doesn't have some kind of "punch a reporter" insurance. In which case he loses nothing. Let's not forget that the UFC is partially responsible for facilitating the incident and for their negligence. So Dana is trying to separate himself from Conor right now but the UFC is in a position to get sued as well. I think for that reason, most of this moves pretty quickly and ends up being forgotten six months from now. |

Conor is already a superstar and doesn't need the WWE. I think he's got another couple of years of fighting left in him and then he'll retire and at that point would consider the WWE. Dana has made it clear that if you're an active fighter with the company, he's not going to let you do anything with the WWE. If he allowed it, the company definitely would've gotten some form of payment in return when Lesnar returned to fight.

He will make Conor pay if he wants to. |

He runs UFC more than Dana does at this point. Dana can say whatever he wants to to the media, but he won't do anything to Conor to ruin the company's next big pay day. |

I don’t think Conor McGregor will ever come to WWE.
He’s insulted wrestling multiple times in the past and from what i’ve seen, he just doesn’t seem to be a fan of wrestling so unless he was joking or I missed something, I can’t see him ever becoming a wrestler.

Vince can’t afford Conor, plain and simple.
Difference between Conor and Rousey is simple. Ronda only made around 3.3 mil from all of her UFC fights combined. Her last fight she made 3 mil, the other fights they paid her sh#%.
Conor made around 100 mil off the Mayweather fight. Made another 40 mil in UFC.

Conor fully realizes he's never going to make that type of money in any UFC fight, though. The fact that he made that amount in one fight doesn't mean he wouldn't eventually do a WWE deal once his fighting career is over; where he can make a few million a year and only have to work a handful of dates. It eventually becomes a smart move for any professional fighter, to be honest. People love to hate on Brock, but the guy negotiated probably the greatest contract in wrestling history in terms of traveling schedule and what he's allowed to do outside of the WWE. Conor and his people are super smart, and I fully believe he would eventually be open to a similar deal if the right money is involved. |

This maybe an online joke but I'm willing to bet wwe is the biggest/safest paycheck Connor can get about now.
