Wrestlers react to Conor McGregor saying he’d ‘slap the head off’ entire WWE roster

Conor McGregor angered the professional wrestling world on Sunday morning after tweeting that he’d “slap the head off” the entire WWE roster. And many wrestlers have responded to McGregor’s comments on social media, perhaps giving him his desired reaction.

McGregor initially drew the ire of the industry when he called most WWE wrestlers p*ssies on Friday afternoon’s UFC 202 media conference call ahead of his rematch against Nate Diaz later this month. But McGregor also said he had respect for the McMahon family, Triple H, and The Rock, who he called dons of the wrestling game.

Below are some Twitter reactions to McGregor’s comments:
