Brock Lesnar who has been intimidating other superstars in the WWE over the last few years finally met his match in the form of Cain Velasquez earlier this month. During the 20th anniversary of Smackdown, Lesnar made an easy work out of Kofi Kingston by beating him in just under 10 seconds to win the WWE Championship for the first time since 2004. While the 'Beast Incarnate' was celebrating his triumph along with Paul Heyman an uninvited guest made his presence felt who was accompanied by Rey Mysterio and he was none other than Cain Velasquez. A stunned Lesnar tried to attack Cain but the former UFC Champion was too hard for the Beast to handle as he was forced to fleed from the ring. Now, they will be meeting in a one-on-one contest.
Brock VS Cain for the WWE title
You have heard that right. After their confrontation on October 4, the duo had a face-off on the October 11 edition of Smackdown where Lesnar's advocate Paul Heyman said that Brock Lesnar would conquer his fear and the nightmare of his past by getting the better of Cain Velasquez and that is when the 'Çardio Cain' showed up and told the reigning WWE Champion that he would beat him again. Thus, it has been made official that the Beast Incarnate will be defending the WWE Championship against Cain Velasquez at WWE Crown Jewel which will be held at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 31. As per reports, Cain has officially signed a contract with the WWE.
Cain had destroyed Brock Lesnar in UFC
In case if you were wondering who has got the guts to tame the ferocious beast, Brock Lesnar, then Cain Velasquez is the real deal. In fact, Cardio Cain had knocked the lights out of Brock Lesnar to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship from him back in 2010. After his defeat, Lesnar was unable to fight for months. So no surprises in guessing why the Beast Incarnate had to flee from the ring after he was floored by his biggest nightmare.
