Ever since WWE and UFC merged into TKO, there has been speculation of cross-promotion as well as fighters making the jump to WWE, while others have wondered whether some WWE talent may want to make the jump to MMA.

On Monday’s Raw, Michael Chandler was on the show and called out UFC megastar Conor McGregor for a fight.

While speaking with Marc Raimondi of ESPN, WWE Hall of Famer Steve Austin was asked who he thinks could make the jump from UFC to WWE. He named former UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland and top UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington.

“If I’m going right now, I’m going to Sean Strickland, and I like Sean Strickland. Boy, he stays economic right now in the octagon, but what a promo, and so then I go Colby Covington, all the trash talk, all the athletic ability guy never runs out of gas. He’s always in shape and talks of a mean streak, and it could back it up. He’s very exciting. He has that X factor that you always look for. He’s doubled tough.”
