Announced earlier today at a press conference, former two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez, 36, has signed with AAA. Velasquez will make his in-ring debut with the promotion on August 3 at TripleMania XXVII, AAA's biggest show of the year. An opponent is yet to be announced. In UFC, Velasquez (14-3) broke a three-year absence this past February, losing in 26 seconds to Francis Ngannou. Back in July, Velasquez did some training at the WWE Performance Center, but reportedly did that appearance more as a statement to UFC that he had other options. www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/03/former-ufc-heavyweight-champion-signs-with-aaa-652418/ |

Why the wwe didn’t wanted him? I mean he’s the greatest heavyweight fighter ever in ufc history, he killed Brock in one round. Either they lowballed him or only wanted him in developmental.

But if this means Cain killing Psycho Clown I’m ok with it.

He's a life long fan and a great athlete. I'm definitely curious to see how this goes.

I imagine they probably would have wanted him, for a variety of reasons, but maybe AAA appealed to him more from if he's just going to do scattered shows or something? No idea. I mean, possibly WWE would shy from signing him in order to not piss off Brock, but then again, they have two brands, they would never have to interact in any capacity, so I don't think that's it. |

In a weird way, it does make Brock look less badass when you have a guy who murked him on the roster. Brock's whole presentation is a legitimate monster. Brock may or may not be a draw (hard to tell with changing metrics), but WWE wholeheartedly believes he is. They don't want to take away from that in any way for a guy whose upside is limited like Cain. And I love Cain, and I know they really want Mexican guys who can speak English, but he's never had promo skills and his body has been put through the ringer. |

Lol his Spanish isn’t very good as well, matter of fact it really bothered him when Fabricio Werdum who can really speak spanish, said that he was more Mexican than Cain. The story to not make Brock look less like a badass I believe, apparently he was bothered by Ryback a lot because he looked like Shane Carwin, well Carwin gave him the beating of a lifetime before gassing out. |

He didn't seem to have a great amount of charisma. Other than that, though, I would think at least using him against Lesnar would draw some money in the short term. |

Real fighters for the most part don’t have charisma, Cain has anti charisma, he’s just a scary f***. |

2019 is a year not letting up on really surreal wrestling stories.
Like, there is now a stronger possibility of Cain Velasquez wrestling in AEW because of this. That’s crazy.

You’re telling me he didn’t hurt himself signing the contract?

Im sure he’ll be injured and out for 9 months in a week
This is awesome news though in all seriousness. He’s not going to WWE! One less MMA has been in the system.

So, he's gonna end up injuring Penta because he's gonna have no training and get the Bucks/LB match completely screwed, isn't he?

He doesn't have a look, he can't cut promos like what the hell would you be working with
