5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: WWE's stunning contract offer to Kenny Omega, Lesnar saves 3 WWE legends

#4. Hope isn't true: Cain Velasquez suffers a bad knee injury

If you're an MMA fan, you know that Cain Velasquez and knee injuries have long been associated with each other. Velasquez had a small 2-minute showing at Crown Jewel where he tapped out clean to Brock Lesnar.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Velasquez's injury is so bad that he's going to require surgery.

"Velasquez’s knee was worse than expected. The idea was always for a short match, with the Paul Heyman style Goldberg match lay out of big moves, but with Velasquez’s knee in such bad shape, they changed it to a match where nothing much happened. The belief is that he needs surgery. No word on the status of the Mexico City match but I’d think he’d want to do that one if possible. But after two very strong performances with AAA, the WWE version of Velasquez did absolutely nothing, and I can’t see anyone caring at all about him going forward. And he’s signed a high-dollar multi-year contract."

We hope this isn't true because it's terrible news for Velasquez. He just signed with WWE and can have a good future but being out for an extensive period won't help him at all.
