Cain Velasquez Receives Opponents For Pro-Wrestling Debut
Cain Velasquez made his intentions known that he would be making the transition into pro-wrestling, and has now received his opponents for his debut match.
The former UFC heavyweight champion signed with AAA, which is the biggest wrestling promotion in Mexico, back in March. Now, he’s slated to make his in-ring debut at TripleMania XXVII on August 3, 2019, at Arena Ciudad in Mexico City.
On Tuesday it was revealed that he’ll team up with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes and Psycho Clown against Texano Jr., Taurus, and a mystery partner in a six-man tag team match:
The former UFC heavyweight champion returned to the Octagon back in February, but things didn’t go as planned. He was KO’d by Francis Ngannou in just 26 seconds in the main event of UFC on ESPN 1 at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.
The finish of the fight saw Velasquez get caught with a flurry of strikes. But his knee gave out, forcing him to fall to the canvas in pain. Ngannou finished him on the ground with punches.
