Cain Velasquez recently appeared on Ariel Helwani’s MMA show (video below) and commented on working for AAA, talking with both WWE and AEW, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On if there’s been interest from WWE: “We’ve been in talks with them. They’re going pretty good … We’ll see.”
On the possibility of working with AEW: “I’ve talked to them. I’ve talked to him a little bit, so I want to talk to him a little more. I think they are doing great things. Now I that I’ve started watching a little more pro wrestling, I think AEW is doing some really cool things. And they have a good relationship with AAA as well, so they have a lot of guys going to AAA, and back to AEW. And AEW too does a lot of like, lucha stuff, you know. They do a lot of lucha wrestling, which I think is pretty cool. I really like what they’re doing as far as the wrestling aspect of it. I think they have really good athletes coming in, really good showmen. They’re making — they’re doing good things right now, yeah.”
On if he’s been asked to be on AEW’s debut on TNT: “Not yet, because I’m just doing — I can only do these three AAA matches. But yeah, I would love to do more. And with different organizations as well, I would.”
