While it is definitely his passion for wrestling that is his main motivation, but money certainly does not hurt.

Cain Velasquez signed with WWE at a very convenient time. A month away from their huge show at Crown Jewel at Halloween, Cain Velasquez is in for a huge payday. With WWE starting their contract with FOX, Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez are certainly in the spotlight.
As part of his first-ever match in WWE, Cain Velasquez is getting a WWE Championship match in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
This ensures that he is in for a huge payday.
Due to his contract with WWE, he will be making a huge amount of money, possibly far more than he would have made for a fight in the UFC.
Continuing a rivalry with Brock Lesnar
Finally, another reason that his move to WWE makes sense is that he gets to wrestle the man with whom his real-life rivalry has attracted a lot of eyes.
Velasquez was able to defeat Brock Lesnar to become the UFC Heavyweight Champion the first time in his life.
Could this be something that will be repeated in WWE? A win could mean that he will become the WWE Champion for the first time in his life. That seems unlikely, but either way that promises to be a blockbuster bout which will attract a lot of attention.
Conclusion
Whatever be the reason that Cain Velasquez has finally made the move to WWE, one thing is clear.
The UFC might have a serious problem on their hand at the moment. UFC and MMA fighters have now made it a habit of shifting to WWE after their UFC career. More often than not, such stars get huge pushes in WWE due to their legitimate background.
With Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler, Matt Riddle, and others making their way in WWE, it appears that UFC fighters might consider wrestling to be a good and secure alternative in the future if they are big enough names.
