WWE Crown Jewel 2019: 5 biggest questions after Brock Lesnar conquered Cain Velasquez in two minutes

#4 What’s next for Cain Velasquez?

Triple H was among the guests on the first episode of Corey Graves’ new After The Bell podcast this week.

Regarding Cain Velasquez signing with WWE, the 14-time World Champion made an interesting comment when he referred to the former UFC Heavyweight Champion as “developmental”, which seemed to suggest that his future storylines and position in the company will be dependent on how quickly he adjusts to his new profession.

“Cain has a deal with us. Cain is a bit more long-term on the developmental. Like, he wants to be a WWE Superstar now. Much like Ronda [Rousey] did, and is doing. I think the Cain piece of it will be just how good can he get, how quickly and what does that mean?” [H/T to 411mania.com]

Following Brock Lesnar’s dominant victory over Velasquez, Rey Mysterio quickly recovered from another attack at the hands of “The Beast” and retaliated by striking him with multiple steel chair shots.

Moving forward, it appears as though the on-screen storyline between Lesnar and Velasquez will continue, with Mysterio and Dominik likely to play a key role.

Off-screen, meanwhile, Velasquez has spent the last two weeks training at WWE’s Performance Center to prepare for Crown Jewel, but it is unclear if he will continue to train at the facility in future months.
