Recently, former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has been eyeing a shift to the WWE.
He’s hit his social media several times at this point, hinting that he wants to make an entrance into the pro-wrestling world.
First @WWE event! I could feel at home here! @brocklesnar, I wouldn’t mind taking another belt from you.

Then, Cain’s teammate Daniel Cormier nixed his remarks, but Can reiterated his talks to head to the WWE in response.
Never say never @dc_mma. I’m down to take @brocklesnar in the @WWE anytime, anywhere.

And in his latest post, Cain stated,
Thanks to @rondarousey and @travisbrownemma for the shirt. My daughter will love it until I get my own “El Toro” @WWE shirt. Got my chair too. Gonna practice hitting people with it at the gym. #WrestleMania #LuchaLibre #ElToro #WWE
