5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Original plans for The Rock on SmackDown, 4-time WWE World Champion arrested

#4 Hope is true: Lesnar vs Velasquez to happen at Crown Jewel

The ghost of Lesnar's past

A lot of you may not be familiar with Cain Velasquez if you don't follow UFC. Just to give you context, Cain Velasquez is a 2-time Heavyweight Champion and is widely regarded as one of the greatest MMA Heavyweight fighters of all time.

The man who he knocked out viciously to capture the title was none other than Brock Lesnar, so it makes perfect storyline sense for them to be feuding, especially now since Velasquez has gotten more into pro wrestling.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is offering a big-money deal to Velasquez to face Lesnar at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia this October 30th.

Velasquez was reportedly in talks with both AEW and WWE, but it seemed as though WWE offered a better amount and a more promising direction to Velasquez for him to join right in and face Lesnar.

The reason we hope this is true is that there has still been a portion of fans complaining about an MMA fighter taking a big spot. Saudi Arabia shows don't get as much attention on the day, so it's not an important PPV and they can have a special attraction match.
