During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Daniel Cormier confirmed that he is still interested in joining WWE now that he’s worked his final MMA fight. He said,
“That’s not my retirement. That would be a vacation.”
Cormier went on to say that he’d love to make an appearance at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event, saying,
“I’d love a Royal Rumble moment where I throw a dude into the ropes and I clothesline his ass over the top, or I dropkick somebody over the top rope. And I’ll take my bump and get thrown out. Let me chase somebody down, clothesline him with a Bradshaw-Layfield clothesline from hell and eliminate somebody from the Royal Rumble, then throw me over the top. Pro wrestling? I’m all in.”
WWE is interested in Cormier and reportedly wants him to work on the SmackDown announce team.
