UFC superstar Michael Chandler is heading to NXT.
Chandler has offered his services to GM Robert Stone in an Instagram post. He wants to officiate the unsanctioned match between Dion Lennox vs. Cruz Montana next Wednesday.
NXT is on a special day because of the U.S. Elections and going head-to-head with AEW Dynamite.
“Robert Stone. I see that you have booked Dion Lennox and Cruz Montana in an unsanctioned match next Wednesday night. It seems like you want this thing to end but you don’t want to take responsibility for it because you know exactly what these two are capable of and exactly what these two want to do with each other based on the last time they squared off,” began Chandler.
He then made Stone an offer.
“If you need someone to keep a little order inside of the chaos you need someone who is well-versed in in the language of chaos. If you someone, you just let me know because I know a guy,” he concluded winking at the camera.
Stone has responded with: “You’re making this too easy for me. Let’s jump on a call and talk”.

Speaking to The Schmo last year, Chandler said about possibly joining WWE:
“I was talking to Triple H about my WWE contract so we’re trying to make that happen. He knows I’m a fan of the WWE, of him, of the brand. He is obviously a fan of what I bring to this table for entertainment, what I can do on the microphone, so it’s always a fun conversation. Who knows if anything is ever gonna happen but he knows I want that door to be open, and I think he wants that door to be open too.
He then said a match with Rey Mysterio would be “freaking fun”.
“I know he’s still getting after it, still has it but that would be a really, really fun one. It might be a little too acrobatic for me. I don’t wanna start with the acrobats right away. Give me a little bit of training and I’ll be doing double backflips off and landing on people,” he said.
Chandler is no stranger to WWE TV. He appeared in the audience as a guest at SummerSlam and on Raw back in 2024, Chandler appeared and called out Conor McGregor.
“Hey, you are now in the presence of the most entertaining UFC fighter on the planet. Hey, now there’s a man from Ireland who has been making me wait for way too long. And I’ve still got one dude on my mind — Conor McGregor get your candy ass back to the Octagon, we’ve got some unfinished business, boys. God bless, I’ll see you at the top!” he said.
Chandler, however, did come to McGregor’s defense when he faced criticism over his less than triumphant return.
“I would be absolutely surprised, like the most surprised person on the planet, if Conor just showed up for a paycheck, limped in there, and said, ‘I don’t care. I’m going to give you guys one minute, shave my head into a mohawk, show up, do the intros, and then just bow out one minute later,’” he wrote.
Scheduled for next week’s show is:
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Final: Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno vs. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger.
Unsanctioned Match: Cruz Montana vs. Dion Lennox.
John Cena appearance.
Cody Rhodes appearance — presenting the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic trophy.
