While a lot of you may be fuming online that Lesnar is the WWE Champion, ask yourself if you would be happier if Velasquez was the WWE Champion instead. A WWE Champion has to be the central attraction of the show that he's on, and the simple fact of the matter is that Velasquez isn't one in the world of professional wrestling. He may be a draw in the MMA world but isn't at the same level as Ronda Rousey or Conor McGregor, quite honestly.

Velasquez has limited experience in a professional wrestling ring, and while he's certain to become a lot better with time, he's just not ready for the big time at the moment. The match that kicked off Crown Jewel was sloppy and not exactly Flair vs Steamboat, as you guys saw.
Still, congratulations to Velasquez for what was certainly an impactful WWE debut.
