Michael Chandler has once again popped up on WWE‘s radar. The UFC veteran was at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, on Monday, August 10.
The visit was first reported by False Finish, which confirmed Chandler was at the facility. No details have emerged regarding the purpose of the visit or whether he took part in any in-ring training.
Chandler’s appearance at the Performance Center is particularly notable given his well-documented interest in making the jump to WWE.
Back in June 2025, during Fanatics Fest, Chandler revealed that he had spoken directly with Triple H about a potential deal and that both sides were working to make it happen. In the months that followed, he again discussed his plans to transition to pro wrestling once his MMA career wraps up.
