#1 To build to a Cain Velasquez vs. Lesnar match?

We've seen many men and women from the world of MMA step into the wrestling ring and dominate it with their incredible crossover skills. From Ken Shamrock to Ronda Rousey to Shayna Baszler to Matt Riddle, each has had a certain degree of success.

Cain Velasquez seems to be the latest to join this coveted pack, and it has been reported by wrestling guru Dave Meltzer that a showdown between Lesnar and Velasquez may be imminent. Shout out to my colleague Daniel Wood who alerted me to this possibility and Lennard Surrao for the write-up that has been linked at the top.

Now, Velasquez has been wrestling in a mask outside the WWE, and I'm guessing that he will bring the same look to WWE too. When he does, he can take on Brock Lesnar, this time in a WWE ring, not an octagon, to avenge the attack on Mysterio.

Did Paul Heyman also allude to Velasquez during his promo when he said 'Mixed Martial Arts?'
