youtube-cover

Cain Velasquez has a history with Brock Lesnar, as he defeated The Beast in UFC in 2010 at UFC 121, winning the UFC Heavyweight title for the first time.

Following this week's SmackDown, Velasquez revealed the reason for confronting Brock Lesnar. The 37-year-old revealed that he saw what Lesnar did to Rey Mysterio and Mysterio's son, Dominick, on this past week's episode of RAW, and wanted "payback".

"I'm here because Brock Lesnar knows what he did. It wasn't right, I saw it. I'm here to get some payback," said Velasquez, referring to the beatdown that Lesnar gave to Mysterio and Mysterio's son.

Velasquez was in discussions with AEW over joining them instead of WWE, with Cody Rhodes expressing interest in the UFC fighter, but perhaps WWE had a bigger purse which persuaded Velasquez to join them.
