One of the biggest reasons why I believe that Cain Velasquez won't defeat Brock Lesnar at the upcoming PPV is because the WWE Championship is on the line. As mentioned in the previous slide, Vince would have still considered letting Lesnar put over the UFC fighter, but that would mean that we would have Cain Velasquez heading into this year's Survivor Series as the WWE Champion. That sounds a little weird, doesn't it? You can't have the man win the WWE title in his first match for the company.

If WWE continues the RAW vs SmackDown theme for Survivor Series, it would result in us getting a Cain Velasquez vs Seth Rollins main event for the show (assuming Rollins remains the champion till then as he does not have a championship match scheduled for Crown Jewel). As someone who isn't necessarily a huge fan of UFC, this match doesn't seem like a legit main event, as the two don't have any history.

With Lesnar set to be a major player on Friday Night SmackDown, what would he do if he lost the match and his championship to Cain at Crown Jewel? Would he just sit idle and accept Cain's dominance over himself? That's not the Beast Incarnate that we know. Moreover, would that mean no further advancement in his storyline with Rey Mysterio and his son, since they got their revenge?
