The 58-year-old has had some of the most famous rivals in WWE history, alternating with the likes of Rey Mysterio, CM Punk and Shawn Michaels during his 17-year in-ring career.
He held the WWE Championship for 280 days in 2004 and now works as an ambassador and commentator for the company.
“God bless them, I would fight,” Layfield continued What did they think? with Gerald Brisco.
“I would fight both of them for $250 million. I would fight Mr. Brisco for $250 million.”
“I lost to him a million times. I would lose again. I love it. I think it's great. I think the Paul brothers are awesome.”
This follows a Bombshell announcement in December by McGregor, who claimed he had made “tentative arrangements” with India’s billionaire Ambani family to box Paul in their home country.
Then he added fuel to the fire by posting an Indian flag and heart emoji in response to an article that claimed he had agreed to fight Paul at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai for $500 million.
The 36 year old also confirmed the nine-figure amount He would receive for fighting the YouTuber turned WWE superstar, writing on X: “$250,000,000 I get.”
However, Paul has since stated that he was 100 percent committed to his beloved sport of wrestling during WWE's debut on Netflix last Monday.
This caused a reaction from KSI And Tommy Furyboth of whom individually urged McGregor to contact them as Paul's replacement.

Fury said: “Conor McGregor don’t waste your time on beaten fighters.”
“Fight the man who beat them all and still has his 0. I’ll wait.”
KSI responded, “There are no rumors, I'm down,” and later added, “Let's make this a reality, Conor McGregor.”
McGregor hasn't fought since breaking his leg in a devastating MMA trilogy loss Dustin Poirier in 2021.
He was supposed to make a comeback against last year Michael Chandlerbut their highly anticipated fight was canceled after he injured his toe while sparring.
