RAF Star, Ex-UFC Fighter Colby Covington Says He's Had Talks With Triple H About WWE

Former UFC fighter and current Real American Freestyle competitor Colby Covington has previously shared his interest in WWE, and the topic came up once again during an interview with Brian Mazique. 

"You just never know where life will take you; I've had some calls with Triple H and the WWE, so that's a potential possibility in the future as well, but I'm all in on RAF," Covington said. 

Later in the interview, he returned to the subject and elaborated on what some of the more difficult parts of the transition might look like. According to Covington, the schedule would be a significant shift in his lifestyle.

"They're on the road, I mean, 320, 330 days a year. They're traveling to different countries. They got Monday night 'Raw,' Friday night 'SmackDown,' they got pay-per-views. I mean, it's a vigorous schedule," the inaugural RAF Cruiserweight Crossover Champion said. "Just to keep sane during that time, and keep your head in the game, and be able to shoot a promo, and go through the moves of the match, I mean, it's a challenge. It's a very hard workload, and I've never had that type of workload."

Additionally, Covington acknowledged that when he was an MMA fighter, he enjoyed having time off in between fights. However, that concept does not apply in pro wrestling, unless they're injured or semi-retired. Though there is a lot to consider and he's content with where he is now, Covington doesn't want anyone to rule out the possibility of him joining the industry's top promotion in the future.
