Conor McGregor congratulated Irishwoman Becky Lynch as she clinched glory at WrestleMania 35 – before the UFC megastar dropped yet another hint that he would one day join her in the world of wrestling.
Lynch won the 'Winner Take All' women’s title match in the main event of WrestleMania 35 in New York on Sunday night, defeating Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey and SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair.

The Notorious was quick to salute Lynch on her achievement, taking to social media, as well as offering another suggestion that he could one day join her in the wrestling ranks.
“Congrats to Irelands Becky Lynch, the WWE’s first Champ Champ,” McGregor tweeted to his 7.6 million followers.
“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...”
It’s the final part of that message that will leave fans wondering whether McGregor will bring his very own brand of braggadocio to the world of WWE.
Following his recent announced retirement from MMA – which has since been reversed – McGregor was sent messages calling on him to make the switch, including from Irish WWE star Finn Balor.
"See you in 'mania," Balor had tweeted, replying to McGregor's retirement statement.
