Roman Reigns is one of the biggest stars in professional and he recently made an appearance at the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House last month. The Tribal Chief’s presence at the UFC Freedom 250 event prompted a lot of discussion among fans on social media and Conor McGregor seemingly took a shot at Roman when he asked, “who?”
Fightful Select reports that WWE sources have said Conor McGregor is very aware of who Roman Reigns is, and was just promoting “corporate synergy” in his own way.
Conor McGregor has in the past talked trash about WWE which led to Roman Reigns responding to McGregor with a tweet which said, “Your the size of my leg. Shut up.”
