#1. Velasquez's lack of connection with WWE Universe

Despite Cain Velasquez's lack of experience in WWE and in professional wrestling, he is challenging for the biggest prize on SmackDown. This move has expectedly turned a number of WWE fans against Velasquez, who still see him as an outsider.

The build-up to this match has left a rather sour taste among the WWE fans. Kofi Kingston's dream run with the WWE Championship, which began with much fanfare at WrestleMania 35, was ended abruptly by Brock Lesnar.

Instead of a much-deserved rematch with Kofi, Velasquez received a shot at the WWE Championship title merely because of his accomplishments in the octagon. Hence, a victory for Velasquez might upset a lot of fans.

Velasquez doesn't have intimidating mic-skills which may cause further hindrance for the former UFC Heavyweight Champion. Currently, Rey Mysterio is playing the role of his manager.

Considering the importance of promo skills in the professional wrestling business and his lack of connection with the WWE Universe, Cain Velasquez faces a rather uphill battle in winning over the fans and reaching the top of the mountain.
