Michael Chandler Names Rey Mysterio Has His WWE Dream Match, Would Try To Take His Mask

Michael Chandler names Rey Mysterio as his ultimate WWE dream match.

Chandler is currently an active fighter on the UFC roster in their lightweight division, but also has a soft spot for the world of professional wrestling, appearing on Monday Night RAW at the beginning of 2024.

While speaking to The Schmo at Fantatics Fest in a new interview, Michael Chandler was asked about what his WWE dream match would be.

"I know it's a little bit old school, but Rey Mysterio Jr. would be freaking fun. I know he's still getting after it, still has it. But, man, that would be a really, really fun one. It might be a little bit too acrobatic for me. I don't want to start with the acrobats right away, but give me a little bit of training. I'll be doing double back flips off and landing on people. (Would you try to pull his mask off, though?) I would. That would always be the goal. Because, I'm going to be the heel. You know, I would go in there and absolutely F everybody up. I would go out there and I would show my wrestling background, my fighting background is superior to every single one of these guys, and I would go in there and I'd absolutely wreck shop."

Elsewhere in the same interview, Chandler discussed the possibility of signing with WWE. You can read more about that here.
