WWE Expects TNA to Reach Out to Embattled MMA Fighter Chael Sonnen

This from TNA Insider:

Embattled MMA Fighter Chael Sonnen recently spoke with Chris Jericho for his “Talk is Jericho” podcast . Sonnen revealed a very interesting conversation he had with a WWE executive who spoke candidly about Sonnen’s possible aspirations for coming to the WWE or TNA.




Quote:








“I got a call about two days before I was suspended. A WWE exec calls me up, and he said, ‘We read what you’re going through, we’re not interested.’ So I’m thinking, ‘why did you call me?’ He said ‘If you were 24 years old, you’d be making a whole jackpot full of money … but we think [rival wrestling promotion] TNA is going to be calling you and if they do, we want back in the game.’ So I was like, OK, now at least I get we know you’re coming from.”






Admittedly, I know very little about this guy, having fallen out of touch with the world of MMA over the last number of years, so I'd imagine if this is as high profile a name as I'm lead to believe, someone will speak to that, but it's interesting to note that it's being said that WWE will show interest if TNA do.



And let's be honest, I think we can all agree they'll show interest considering their recent (and historic) affinity for MMA stars (Shamrock, Ortiz, Jackson, Mo and more).
