While promoting WWE’s move to BT Sport in UK, several WWE Superstars, including Velasquez, were interviewed by media. In an interview with Cultaholic, Velasquez revealed that he was keen to join WWE, but Vince McMahon and Triple H turned him down.
Velasquez then revealed that his wife suggested that he do a lucha match, and that he wanted to wear a mask “to pay homage to the people who have done it in the past”. Velasquez wrestled a few matches in Mexico’s AAA, including partnering with AEW’s Cody Rhodes.
The former UFC fighter made his WWE debut against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel, where he lost his match in quick fashion. He has been out of action for a while due to injury, but has revealed that he will be in the Royal Rumble later this month.
