Seems a bit of a strange marriage but I suppose there is some sense in former UFC fighters being able to extend their careers by hopping over to the WWE.

From a business perspective, they're pretty much the same, both being mostly based on negotiating TV rights fees and, to a lesser extent, promoting individual stars.

Developing talent as well, something the UFC is not very good at (and has been ignoring thoroughly lately)

And some WWE stars with legit fighting credentials have gone back and forth from UFC (and other MMA promotions) to WWE. Brock Lesnar being the best example
