They say that anything can happen in the WWE and when SmackDown first debuted on FOX in October of 2019, Cain Velasquez made a surprise appearance when he confronted Brock Lesnar. Velasquez was later booked for a match with Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel, but he was defeated by The Beast Incarnate.
Cain Velasquez recently appeared on the Keepin’ It 100 podcast where he talked about facing Brock Lesnar in WWE, and he said that putting the match together was a little uncomfortable.
“Yeah, professional and I would say it was a little uncomfortable [planning the match with Brock Lesnar]. I’m just so new to the wrestling world but everyone that I’ve worked with has been amazing as far as, you take care of everybody. We really do try to put in some good things in there where everyone gets what they want out of it and making it just for the fans. Working with Brock was interesting man, that’s all I’m gonna say. It was very different. You kind of just learn from your life and okay, this is what this was. I know for next time if something else ever happens for next time but… [Velasquez laughed]
With Brock, that’s kind of what it was and again, the best thing about what I do now with wrestling is I can bring my family in and they’re true fans of it, you know? And that is the best.”
Following his match with Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel it was expected that Cain Velasquez would continue to work with WWE, but the company later released him in April of 2020 due to budget cuts.
