WWE or UFC, Cormier has been the first choice

Cormier has now become the first choice of sports like WWE or UFC. His work is being admired so much that WWE wanted him back to help commentate on SmackDown and bring a real view to the ground.

In one of his interviews with Busted Open Radio, the former two-time champion said,  “They called me. They reached out to my assistant. It was WWE, not Fox. They called me about going to Orlando, Florida.

 “I had a tentative date, but then I couldn’t make that date. Afterward, they asked me to go back but they were on tour or something for a month, and I was like, I want to do it with the entire commentary team. I don’t want to do it with one guy here and one guy there because I wanted to see who I can mesh with, and they were like, okay let’s schedule it in November.

“But then I took this [UFC 230] fight and then it got pushed back again.

“We will revisit this. I am going to Orlando to the Performance Center to do my gig to see how it works out. I am very passionate about pro wrestling.  You can YouTube my reaction to when Seth Rollins won the World Championship at WrestleMania 31. I am very passionate. It is what I like to do”
