Cain Velasquez’s knee surgery to affect his future in WWE?

Cain Velasquez made his beast slaying debut in the closing moments of SmackDown last week, where he forced Brock Lesnar to retreat with his newly won WWE championship title. After seeing Velasquez punishing Lesnar in the ring, fans were excited to see this dream match come true. However, their hopes could shatter as the recent reports suggest that Velasquez is yet to sign any deal with the WWE. To make the matters more serious Dave Meltzer recently revealed in an interview that Velasquez needs surgery on his left knee. Meltzer’s claims may be true as the former UFC champion was wearing a giant knee brace in his leg when he came to the ring to confront The Beat.

If Velasquez fights the beast at Crown Jewel pay-per-view and then undergoes surgery, he might not return. Meltzer then said that if Velasquez decides gets it in November, he will definitely not compete in WrestleMania. However, if he decides to get a minor surgery, he may return.
