SmackDown on FOX: 5 Undeniable reasons why WWE wants Cain Velasquez vs. Brock Lesnar
I know that a lot of people were disappointed when Brock Lesnar defeated Kofi Kingston in almost no time at all, on the debut of SmackDown on FOX. The match lasted mere seconds and nobody in the arena was happy.
And then suddenly out of nowhere, Cain Velasquez would show up and take Lesnar down with a flurry of fists. The newly crowned WWE Champion knew then that there was a new challenger who was hot on his trail, to dethrone him.
So, why does WWE want Cain Velasquez to take on Brock Lesnar in the days that follow? The answer should be quite clear to those who have been following the news, rumors, reports and opinion pieces on Sportskeeda over the past few days, ever since the rumors surfaced.
But in a nutshell, these are the main points...
#5 Velasquez is a natural when it comes to pro wrestling
Believe it or not, this is not Cain Velasquez's pro wrestling debut. Not only has he been a big fan of the sport, but he's also excelling at it at the highest level, working in AAA. I was on a conference call with Cody Rhodes not long ago, who spoke very highly of his abilities.
A lot of times, the biggest problem with a star arriving at a show like SmackDown is that they don't know how to take bumps, which is when a WWE star has to look weak. But Velasquez is a great professional wrestler already and he can jump directly into the mix and go on to have some good matches with Brock Lesnar.
To be quite honest, from the looks of it, Velasquez may put in more effort into his matches than Lesnar will, considering his track record. Oh well, let's hope for the very best!
