Report: The reason why Cain Velasquez hasn’t appeared in AAA under WWE ownership

In addition to his appearances with WWE, former MMA fighter Cain Velasquez also worked with the AAA promotion in 2019. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com explained why Velasquez hasn’t returned to AAA under WWE’s ownership…

“If WWE had not bought AAA, he would already be wrestling for AAA. They [WWE and Velasquez] didn’t leave on the best of terms. I don’t think WWE really wants him in the sense of what their goals are. Their goals aren’t like, let’s bring in a Mexican celebrity.

The AAA people, Dorian Roldan, Konnan, those people that were involved, they love Cain Velasquez. I was pretty much told that if it was Dorian’s company, then they would have definitely brought Cain in for big shows because that’s how much they think of him.”

Velasquez is back home with his family after serving 10 months in prison and being granted early parole. Velasquez had originally been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading no contest to multiple charges, including attempted murder.
