Former UFC Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier spoke about WWE’s release of Cain Velasquez in an interview taken by the Sports Illustrated. Cormier who is a training partner of Velasquez had the following words to say:

It makes me sad for Cain, I know how much he enjoys wrestling. I know that he’s going to land on his feet. There is no person in the world I am more confident that will come out of whatever situation in a positive light than Cain Velasquez.”

Cormier is a wrestling fan. In the past, he had expressed a desire to enter the ring. In the interview, he was asked if the abrupt release of Cain Velasquez changed his desire to work for WWE. Cormier stated that everyone needs to consider the circumstances that the world is in due to the coronavirus, which has affected every company. He mentioned that the virus is not something anyone has ever seen before.

“So to say that it would make you only want to do a one-off as opposed to a contract? I think that’s a little much. Everybody’s doing exactly what they’re doing because of the pandemic.”

As far as Cormier and WWE are concerned, it seems unlikely that he would debut during this time of crisis. WWE recently fired a big chunk of their roster which included Cain, Rusev, Luke Gallows, and. In this regard, it wouldn’t make sense for WWE to sign on with an expensive talent like Cormier.

However, once the situation returns to normal, WWE would want established wrestlers like Cormier on their table. He can be a major draw for a Saudi Arabia Show and can have some fantasy matches like with Matt Riddle or Brock Lesnar. Regardless of Cormier’s love for wrestling, it seems like he will have to wait for the coronavirus pandemic to end if he wants to move ahead.
