WWE Superstar T-Bar has sent out a stern warning that he would demolish retired UFC lightweight king Khabib Nurmagomedov if he ever stepped into the WWE Ring.
With Khabib Nurmagomedov now officially retired; there is just one question in everyone’s mind – Where is the ‘Eagle’ shifting his nest to?
A lot of professional wrestlers wanted to have a go at the UFC lightweight GOAT. In the wake of this, Khabib’s manager Ali Abdelaziz sent a message to the WWE superstars that Khabib would put each and every ‘soft steroid freak’ to shame.
Speaking in an interview with TMZ Sports, the CEO of Dominance Management also claimed that Khabib would smash WWE Legend John Cena’s face inside the WWE ring, angering the fans of the promotion all around the world.
A testament to Michael Jordan’s ‘I took that personally’, WWE Raw Superstar T-Bar was left enraged with Abdelaziz’s comments. Referring to Khabib as ‘Little man’, T-Bar made Abdelaziz aware that Khabib would get dilapidated in the WWE since there are no weight classes.
He responded to Ali Abdelaziz and took a shot at the Russian great:
“Listen bud @AliAbdelaziz00, we don’t have weight classes here in @WWE, so if little man @TeamKhabib wants to get flattened in about 12 seconds you can send me your number and I’d be happy to give you a call.”
Khabib has been wrestling all his life. In fact, the people of Dagestan are born wrestlers. A young Khabib wrestling a bear is something T-Bar will have to take a close look at and think before firing shots at the ‘Eagle’. There is absolutely no way Khabib will let himself manhandled by wrestlers, irrespective of the weight class.
As for T-Bar, who towers at 6ft 7 in, took up professional wrestling only during his 20s. Despite being a splendid footballer in his early days, he hasn’t ‘hit the mat’ like Khabib has done, all his life.
And most importantly, will Khabib even think of making an appearance in the WWE? Money has never been his motivation – as it is always a case of C.R.E.A.M during a WWE crossover.
Tyson Fury, Wayne Rooney and Mike Tyson all made a chunk of money for their WWE appearances. Khabib surely will spring a surprise if he does make a WWE appearance, let alone make a complete switch.
When even a fully motivated Conor McGregor struggled to get past the hard-as-nails Khabib, what can WWE wrestlers do?
