While to most sports fans, Cain Velasquez is known as the former UFC Heavyweight champion of the world – where he won that title two times in his mixed martial arts career. However, to many sports entertainment and professional wrestling fans, Cain Velasquez is known as the fighter that made his WWE debut on the first episode of Smackdown on FOX back in October of 2019. He confronted Brock Lesnar after Lesnar won the WWE Championship from Kofi Kingston in a squash match lasting only a few seconds. Cain last competed at Super ShowDown on 31 October 2019, where he was squashed by Brock Lesnar and failed to win the WWE Championship.
Cain Velasquez signed a lucrative multi-year deal with the WWE, but the contract allowed the company to release him whenever they saw fit and that is exactly what they did as he was released by the company back in 2020 as part of the pandemic budget cuts. The former UFC champion was also recently involved in a shooting incident in San Jose, California as well. Velasquez was taken into custody due to his involvement in the shooting, which involved two people. One of those people wound up in jail. The other went to the hospital.
As revealed by TMZ, Velasquez has been arrested and charged with attempted murder in relation to the incident.
Velasquez’s attorney, Mark Geragos, has explained that the delay in his plea hearing occurred because he wants more information on Hally Goularte’s molestation case. As revealed by a statement given to NBC Bay Arena, Velasquez’s attorney, Geragos, stated that the delay is being caused due to a lack of additional information on Goularte’s molestation case.
“We believe that there’s other victims out there. We have urged to the public to come forward. We understand it’s a delicate matter situation but if there are other victims, we want to make sure that they come forward.”
