On the most recent episode of Keepin’ It 100, Konnan stated that AAA attempted to have a confrontation take place between UFC fighters Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos. Velasquez is already set to appear on the show, teaming with Pagano and Psycho Clown against LA Park, Rey Escorpion and Taurus.
According to Konnan, the plan was going to be to have Dos Santos arrive after the match to challenge Velasquez. However, it wasn’t able to happen due to Santos having other commitments he was scheduled for. ESPN’s Marc Raimondi confirmed the story on Twitter and said that Dan Lambert would have been with JDS.

I had heard this, too. The pitch was to fly dos Santos and Dan Lambert down to Mexico and JDS would have started a storyline in AAA with his old UFC rival Cain Velasquez. Would have been fun, but dos Santos couldn’t do it https://t.co/bteYb9tf5k
