Brock Lesnar versus Cain Velasquez at WrestleMania 36. Who would have won?

WWE brought UFC star, Cain Velasquez, to the squared circle in order to have a feud with Brock Lesnar and although The Beast Incarnate won the first contest in a matter of minutes, there was hope for another match. In fact, with how dominating Lesnar was in his performance against Velasquez, it almost didn't make sense not to have a rematch.

Apparently the original plan was for the two to meet again at WrestleMania 36, where Velasquez would avenge his loss to Lesnar and maybe even win The WWE Title in the process. Unfortunately for Velasquez, the storyline was dropped due an injury he suffered while training and he was later released by the company.
