Daniel Cormier Acknowledges A Match In WWE With Brock Lesnar Makes Sense, Isn’t Sure If It Will Happen

Daniel Cormier comments on possibly wrestling Brock Lesnar in a WWE ring.

Daniel Cormier is set to be the referee at WWE Extreme Rules this Saturday for the Fight Pit match between Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle. While many fans are content with this appearance, many others are calling for DC, a long term wrestling fan, to face Brock Lesnar at some point.

Speaking with ESPN, Daniel Cormier says he has yet to hear anything regarding a potential plan between himself and Brock Lesnar in WWE, but fans are talking and that’s always a good thing.

“I’ve not heard anything. That’s the thing, right? When something like this happens, and this was, honestly, very good for me because people started to talk. People started talking about, ‘Oh my goodness, I remember when him and Brock were in the octagon and they were supposed to fight.’ So, it seems to make a lot of sense. But as you know, just because something makes sense see, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen. So, no, there is no talk of me fighting Brock Lesnar.”

“We laid the foundation, but we did not get the payoff. It was a slow build. The build was far too slow. Yeah. It was like a year build with no WrestleMania match,”

The pair have history, with a potential big money fight almost happening when Cormier captured the UFC Heavyweight Championship.
