It is well known that Daniel Cormier is a huge WWE fan. So much so, that he is even considering trying out for a position at the commentary booth. In my opinion, that's not the only role he will be adept for in the world of sports entertainment. If indeed he does make the jump, there could be a variety of roles better suited for him.
The two division UFC Champion is a man who seems unstoppable within the octagon. He is slated to take on Derrick Lewis in the main event of UFC 230, and has said many a time that he plans to retire by his 40th birthday. At the age of 39, he may not have too many fights left in him.
Could Cormier follow in the footsteps of others like Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler and blaze a path for himself in the world of scripted combat, very soon? I think that he certainly could.
Here is a list of 5 roles that could be the right fit for Daniel Cormier, when he comes to WWE.
#5 Play-by-play commentator
Let's get the obvious one out of the way first. Daniel Cormier wants to step into the commentator's booth, having already had some first-hand experience in UFC.
One wonders how he will fare in the restrained WWE environment though because he will have Vince McMahon in his ear.
Cormier has been a long-time fan of sports entertainment, and therefore I don't doubt that he will actually be able to call the actual moves as they happen. I think he would be the perfect fit for SmackDown on FOX. This is especially in keeping with the rumours that FOX may want a more sports oriented approach.
#4 Manager and mouthpiece for Sonya Deville
Sonya Deville is a superstar with a lot of potential, but somehow she's gotten lost in the mix. She was a part of the faction known as Absolution on RAW, which was spearheaded by WWE Superstar, Paige. But ever since she moved to SmackDown Live, it seems like she's been directionless and without purpose. An alliance with Daniel Cormier would potentially launch her to the moon.
The reason they would make the perfect duo is because she has been portrayed as a superstar with an MMA background. Only superstars like Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler have legitimate MMA backgrounds, watering her gimmick down significantly. To make her gimmick meaningful, she needs an alliance with a top superstar like Daniel Cormier.
Of course, Absolution would have to split up for this to happen. But an end of that group may be for the best, over the long haul.
#3 Manager for Chad Gable
Chad Gable is yet another person who has a background in wrestling. While everyone hailed him as the second coming of Kurt Angle during his time in NXT, Gable has only gotten to show a fraction of his ability in the main roster.
The booking has not been kind to him and Gable is considered to be little more than enhancement talent now. Having Daniel Cormier as his manager could change that.
Cormier has been appreciative of his skills on more than one occasion, and considering how both men have a background in wrestling, DC is actually the best representative for Chad Gable's in-ring skills. In fact, he may fit this role even better than his hypothetical alliance with Sonya Deville.
I know that Cormier would not just love this role, but do everything in his power to launch Gable to the very next level.
#2 WrestleMania opponent for Brock Lesnar
We all saw the historic moment when Daniel Cormier beat Stipe Miocic to become a two-division UFC Champion. And then Brock Lesnar would stride in and set up a potential match down the line. What if this match does not take place in UFC?
There's always the possibility that Brock Lesnar and Daniel Cormier could actually lock horns on the grand stage known as WrestleMania. Of course, the outcome would be predetermined but it would be interesting to see how the contest plays out. Any contest that pits the two men against each other will equal big bucks.
Of course, this WrestleMania may be far too soon because Cormier would have to learn the ropes and figure out how to adapt to a worked environment. Maybe WrestleMania 36 is where the twain could meet!
#1 Surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble match
The Royal Rumble match is always full of surprises. Could WWE book the angle of the century and have Brock Lesnar decimating everyone in the match? And then the clock counts down, with DC running out. Cormier tosses Lesnar to the floor and the two men brawl all the way to the backstage area.
This could even be a good setup for the eventual highly-anticipated UFC fight. It would certainly get people talking and invested in the proceedings. Dana White may just let it happen because it will certainly get a lot more eyeballs on the eventual UFC fight.
And the best part about pulling something like this off is that Cormier does not have to learn how to wrestle at all. He just has to toss Lesnar out of the ring and eliminate himself in the process too.
Leave a comment and let me know if you'd like to see Cormier in any of these roles.
