5 Reasons why Cain Velasquez is a great fit for AEW

#2 Potential to adapt well to the AEW in-ring style

Velasquez impressed during his professional wrestling debut for AAA last year.

WWE was alerted to Cain Velasquez's potential as a professional wrestler after he signed with AAA last year, making his first appearance at the promotion's TripleMania event. The debutant wowed fans with the smoothness of his in-ring efforts, pulling off several high-flying moves, including a running hurricanrana.

One man who could not help but take notice of Cain Velasquez's showing was AEW's Cody Rhodes - as he teamed with him during the match. Rhodes joined his fellow AEW executive vice presidents, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, in praising Velasquez's performance following the event.

"I was really impressed with him," said Rhodes of Cain Velasquez, while Omega declared that he would "love to see" the Latino star continue his wrestling career.

Following his WWE departure, Cain Velasquez is now free to pursue his career with AEW. He has proven he can work an aerial style and matches with the likes of the Young Bucks and the Lucha Brothers have great potential.

Velasquez made a great first impression on several key decision makers in AEW - and he would surely be a welcome addition if a deal between the two parties can be negotiated.
