Daniel Cormier is excited at the idea of making more appearances for WWE, but only after he drops a few pounds.
At WWE Extreme Rules 2022, Cormier made his debut, officiating the Fight Pit match between Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle.
On his ESPN show DC & RC, Cormier spoke about his appearance at Extreme Rules, and wants to lose weight before he appears for WWE next.
“I came home and my partner at my barbershops, he was at my house and he was like, ‘Damn, you look a lot bigger on TV.’
“They [WWE executives] were talking to me about doing future things in the WWE and I go, ‘I’ll do things, but I’ve got to get in shape first.’ Like, give your boy some time to get some of this baggage off, this luggage.
“Let me get rid of some of the checked baggage and then maybe do a couple carry-ons, and then now I’m able to go and do some things in the ring.”
While WWE’s agreement with Cormier was for a one-night appearance, both sides were reportedly happy with his performance and the idea of working together again.
Cormier retired from the world of MMA in 2020 following back-to-back losses to Stipe Miocic and he has since been a commentator for events.
