5 reasons why Brock Lesnar should face Cain Velasquez at Royal Rumble

#2 Cain Velasquez needs mainstream attention as he still isn’t a huge name in the wrestling business

It happened 9 years ago

Cain Velasquez has millions of fans all around the world, we know that. However, his fan base is that of the MMA background, and not from wrestling. Velasquez has received hefty paycheck to work for WWE but that doesn’t make him a popular figure in the wrestling industry. With less than a finger-count worth of matches, we can’t say that Velasquez is at the same status as some of the top dogs of wrestling.

Even though he had his debut WWE match against The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, Velasquez hasn’t been featured on RAW or SmackDown which has decreased his momentum. If WWE wants to use him as a prominent wrestling figure in their company, they need to put him into the spotlight, once again. And what could be better than squaring off against Lesnar for the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, especially when they both have a strong story together?
