The former UFC Heavyweight Champion recently made his first WWE appearance on SmackDown’s premiere episode on Fox and confronted an old adversary of his, Brock Lesnar.
ESPN’s Marc Raimondi caught up with Velasquez after the show ended and asked the Mexican mixed martial artist a few interesting questions.
Velasquez opened up about the ‘surreal’ experience of meeting Triple H and Vince McMahon. He also shared what Roman Reigns told him backstage during the show.
Velasquez was asked about how his showdown with Lesnar in a WWE ring compared to his fight against the Beast Incarnate for the UFC in 2010, a UFC title fight that Velasquez comfortably won.
The 2-time UFC Heavyweight Champion also confirmed working out a deal with WWE and stated that his rich rivalry with Lesnar can be used to tell a great story.
Velasquez also cleared the air regarding the knee brace that he wore during his SmackDown appearance and clarified that he won’t be needed surgery before his in-ring debut for WWE. Velasquez claimed that his knee is getting better and he is only focused on improving in the ring.
Cain Velasquez is rumoured to take on Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WWE Crown Jewel on October 31st in Saudi Arabia.
