Former UFC Champion Daniel Cormier has been a name which has often been mentioned as someone who is interested in crossing over to the wrestling world and doing work with WWE.
Now after his retirement from the MMA world, the possibility of the former UFC star actively pursuing a WWE stint looks very high and the heavyweight star himself recently revealed that he has actually talked to WWE.
Cormier recently had an interview with Sports Illustrated where he talked about a number of things and revealed that he has had ‘very very early conversations’ with WWE:
“We’ve been talking; we’ve spoken to some of the people over there in very, very early conversations. WWE is a company I’ve watched and loved my entire life.”
The former UFC Champion then explained that he would love to join WWE as a commentator and then transition to a more active role after a while:
“Then, after those six months, what if I’m sitting next to Michael Cole, and Roman comes over and smacks the microphone out of my hand? But I’m an announcer. Will I hit him back? Then you’re asking if this will happen or not. That’s what I want, that slow build, the type of story you want to see, and your heart feels like it’s going to explode while you’re waiting for it. Give me the slow build, let it simmer.”
