Cain Velasquez is making waves in the world of professional wrestling.
After winning over the crowd at AAA’s Invading NY event in September, Velasquez has officially signed with the WWE.
Velasquez made his WWE debut at WWE Smackdown on Friday night, and the former UFC heavyweight champion did not disappoint.
The 37-year-old stormed the WWE ring to meet a familiar foe, Brock Lesnar. Velasquez battered Lesnar to win the UFC heavyweight title almost nine years ago at UFC 121, and the American Kickboxing Academy product picked up right from where he left off at WWE Smackdown, tackling Lesnar to the ground and pummelling him with ground-and-pound.
