While it is Cain Velasquez who will be facing Brock Lesnar a Crown Jewel, the feud between the two does not merely revolve around their history in UFC, but rather, Lesnar's brutal assault on Rey Mysterio and his son.
Mysterio had brought in Dominick's 'godfather' Cain Velasquez to WWE to take revenge on The Beast Incarnate for attacking his son. While the match between Velasquez and Lesnar is sure to be an all-out brawl, it would not make any sense to leave the master of 619 completely out of the equation.

Mysterio will most likely accompany Velasquez to the ring for his first-ever WWE match at Crown Jewel, and while Mysterio - who is a babyface - is not one to meddle in other people's matches, the scenario is quite different this time, and the veteran will certainly try to get involved and cost Lesnar the match.
Reports have suggested that WWE is planning a 'schmoz' finish for the match and one way to go about it would be having Lesnar taunt Mysterio during the match leading to him losing his cool and going after Lesnar during the match causing a DQ finish.
