Conor McGregor showed his pro wrestling knowledge on Twitter the day after WrestleMania 35, while also offering a compliment to fellow Irish fighter Becky Lynch.
McGregor was informed that Chris Jericho was the first “Champ Champ,” to which McGregor responded:
“One of these is a WCW belt,” he wrote. “Both belts must be won under the same organization and both titles must be fully unified also. Interim titles do no make the cut. The belts must also be held consecutively.
“This is for true ‘Champ Champ’ status.”
One of these is a WCW belt.
Both belts must be won under the same organization and both titles must be fully unified also.
Interim titles do not make the cut.
The belts must also be held consecutively.
This is for true “Champ Champ” status.
Yours sincerely,
The Champ Champ™️ https://t.co/b7dW8T1Gty— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 8, 2019
McGregor was the first UFC fighter to hold two titles at the same time when he was the featherweight and lightweight champion.
At WrestleMania 35 Sunday night, Lynch bested Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair to win the WWE Raw and Smackdown women’s titles in the main event.
Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ.
Wow!
What a match these ladies put on! Ronda Rousey is something special in that ring, as is Charlotte Flair of the Flair dynasty!
Stephanie McMahon you are right, I could not do what these athletes do.
Or could I…— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) April 8, 2019
