John Cena has said that he would love to see Conor McGregor in the WWE.
The Notorious is still recovering from an injury he sustained in his most recent fight, a defeat to Dustin Poirier.
The Dubliner has flirted in the past with the idea of swapping the cage of the UFC with the wrestling ring in the WWE.
Now, he's been endorsed by one of the biggest names in the history of wrestling in John Cena.
The 16-time World Champion was full of praise for McGregor when appearing on the That Scene podcast.
He was asked what was the one thing a WWE Superstar needed to have to succeed, and replied "It's imagination. Period, point blank, it's scripted narrative. It's entertainment. You have to buy into that reality. If you don't believe you're piece of that world we're in or your opponent is a piece of that world, it doesn't work.
"I don't watch much MMA or anything. To me, it's true fight sport, but then a guy like (Conor) McGregor comes along with a wonderful personality and will talk people into the building.
"You either root for him or root against him and you buy his fight, like (Floyd) Mayweather or (Muhammad) Ali, they talk about developing that great personality and believing in it.
When asked how he felt McGregor would do in WWE, Cena replied, "He'd be fantastic. He is what we do. It's a little less predictable. Our surprises are getting people to show up at random and weave the 'choose your own adventure' into a different alley. His surprises are getting a few teeth knocked out or getting an operation.
"Not to say that this doesn't happen with us, mistakes happen, but in his profession it's not a mistake. I hope (he makes an appearance) because I want to see it. At my core, I'm a fan. He's interesting and have a gravity about him. I want to see him perform."
