Chandler Launched Through Ropes At WWE NXT

Michael Chandler got launched through the ropes at WWE NXT on Tuesday night after attempting to interfere in a match between Dion Lennox and Cruz Montana.

The UFC lightweight served as special enforcer for the bout and took issue when he spotted handcuffs being used in one corner. He moved to intervene and got shoved two-handed through the ropes for his trouble, per MMA Mania.

Chandler's WWE Appearances Continue Despite UFC Skid

Chandler has appeared on WWE programming multiple times in recent years. Both promotions operate under TKO Group Holdings, the parent company formed when UFC and WWE merged operations.

The 40-year-old has struggled inside the Octagon lately, dropping four straight fights and six of eight since his UFC debut in early 2021. Four of those six losses came by finish. He has collected five post-fight bonuses during that stretch, including three Fight of the Night awards.

Whether Chandler pursues pro wrestling full-time remains unclear. He holds a 23-11 record in MMA and has vowed to keep fighting despite the recent slide.
