3 Potential Opponents for Cain Velasquez at TripleMania

#2 Cody

The EVP of All Elite Wrestling, Cody is a man of many hats. The Grandson of a Plumber is carrying forward the legacy of his father, the late Dusty Rhodes. After leaving WWE in 2016, Cody established himself as a main event talent during his time in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling.

The American Nightmare held numerous championships during his time in the independent circuit including the coveted NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. Cody is currently at the helm of the hottest brand in wrestling today, All Elite Wrestling.

AEW has a working relationship with AAA and it goes without saying that we can expect to see a lot of AEW Stars at AAA's TripleMania, come August. Cody vs Velasquez is a very interesting match-up especially given the fact that both Cody and Velasquez have an amateur wrestling background.

@philbaroni this is actually pathetic. This is what people wanna see? Go to a god dang gymnastics competition. Suplex, bodyslam, piledriver do some old school wrestling man. DDT, I remember when the frankensteiner was the most you’d ever see someone flip. I say Boo to this BS https://t.co/eF4pnCy0SA

It's not pathetic. The paying audience enjoyed it. UFC is thriving, and pro-wrestling has been going strong since 1920...besides most of y'all ask hunter for a job when the wheels fall off anyway and most are on the comp list at staples...so lay the fuck off. https://t.co/oqKto3a4TK

I do ask for comps, I am a fan, I didn’t say anything about anything but that sequence of the match. Just be very careful bud! I’ve been a fan of urs too but be very careful. Lay off the cuss words it’s not that serious. And I won’t need a job. I’ll be good. https://t.co/7DuDLbpipp

In addition to that, Cody had a twitter war of words of with Velasquez's training partner and current UFC Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Cormier a year and a half ago, which could be used to build their match at TripleMania.
