Cain Velasquez wrestles in a mask outside the WWE and because he has embraced Lucha Libre culture, he has been portrayed as Rey Mysterio's friend. The fact of the matter is that Brock Lesnar assaulted Rey Mysterio and his son on WWE RAW, and he has hell to pay from the Luchador community.
To the credit of my comrade Daniel Wood, he did make this prediction when the assault first happened on RAW this week. Rumors of the arrival of Velasquez were doing the rounds, and he did say that Lesnar only attacked Mysterio to set up this match.
In any case, this is going to be the big storyline in the weeks and months to follow. Velasquez is a big-time MMA star and he could fulfill the void left by the missing Ronda Rousey.
