Chael Sonnen Reveals Talks He Had with WWE, Are They Interested?

According to The Wrestling Observer, MMA star Chael Sonnen was a recent guest on Chris Jericho’s “Talk is Jericho” podcast, and during the interview Sonnen revealed WWE was interested in brining him into the company at one point, potentially as an announcer, but interested faded after Sonnen’s failed drug tests.

Sonnen told Jericho he was contacted by a WWE executive after he was suspended from fighting and told WWE was no longer interested in working with him. He did say he was told if he were 24 years old, he’d have a big money contract from WWE. Sonnen added if TNA expressed interest in working with him, then WWE would likely make a serious play to snatch him up.
