Quinton "Rampage" Jackson impressed both fans and critics on Saturday night, besting the odds, illness and much of Lyoto Machida best blows to earn a split decision at UFC 123.
"The fight was almost canceled a couple of days ago," Jackson said. "I caught a fever from my son and I was throwing up and then I had to cut weight."
But Jackson proved the comeback kid in UFC this weekend. And now he may be ready for a WWE comeback of sorts.
Although Jackson has never officially been placed within the WWE roster, he has already developed a close relationship with the pro wrestling outfit.
Rampage even guest hosted RAW on June 7th and said being so close to the action was like a childhood dream come true.
Jackson has publicly stated on multiple occasions that he would love to wrestle for WWE.
The rumor mill today is spinning that Jackson was invited to attend WWE Survivor Series tonight, as a front row guest in the arena.
At this time, it isn't clear if Jackson will be there for certain or if he will be acknowledged on camera.
Once source inside WWE tells me that original plans (to be determined by the shape Jackson was in after his fight) called for the UFC fighter to be "engaged" by CM Punk in the front row, much the way NFL great Lawrence Taylor engaged Bam Bam Bigelow in the build-up to their Wrestlemania 11 match (Bam Bam shoved Taylor to the ground and sparked their planned feud).
