Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar will be facing off at the WWE Crown Jewel PPV. This will be for the WWE Championship. I wanted to pass along my speculation on the long-term plans for this storyline.
The big question is, will Cain win the WWE Championship in his first WWE match? My gut says no. While saying that, I don’t think this feud will be ending at Crown Jewel. Here is how I see it playing out.
I think that Cain is going to dominate Brock for most of the match. When it looks like Brock is about to lose, I think that he will use a chair out of desperation. This will cause the match to end via disqualification, which means that Brock retains the Title. After the match, I see Brock kicking the crap out of Cain with a chair. This will be a vicious beatdown, that writes off Cain from WWE Television for several months.
There are rumors that Cain needs surgery to repair something in his knee. A finish like this would allow Cain to take some time off and get it fixed. Plus, Cain could also spend this time training with Rey Mysterio to get better inside of the ring.
I would have Cain return in 2020, where he would cost Brock Lesnar the WWE Championship. This would set up Cain vs Brock at Wrestlemania 36, without the WWE Title on the line. That way, fans get a big rematch between Brock and Cain. Plus, this would get the WWE Title off Brock.
This could be a great way to go. I would also love to see Cain return using a more Lucha-style like he did when he wrestled for AAA.
How would you feel about a storyline like that? Let me know in the comment section below.
