What if Daniel Cormier goes to WWE?

4. A match with Brock Lesnar

Cormier vs. Lesnar may not be exclusive to the Octagon.

A match with Brock Lesnar would be inevitable for Daniel Cormier if he were to set foot in the WWE Universe. It’s just crazy enough of an idea to work, too, as UFC has shown an increasing willingness to embrace to outlandish like Lesnar confronting Cormier at UFC 226, or like getting behind Conor McGregor’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.

Lesnar vs. Cormier already comes across as a draw in UFC, and in all likelihood will happen in a real fight context before a pro wrestling match, unless Lesnar flunks a drug test or backs out of his MMA return altogether. Still, there are roads to this pairing in WWE. If Lesnar were to win the UFC fight, WWE could tell a convincing story of Cormier coming to The Beast’s “house” to get his revenge in a WWE ring. Alternatively, in the more likely case that Cormier does beat Lesnar in the Octagon, it could be that Lesnar challenges him to come into WWE to fight on his terms, too.
