Daniel Cormier has a history with WWE, although not directly. Cormier, during his time in UFC, once challenged one of the top stars in WWE. However, the wrestling star was serving in the UFC as a major star there, back then.

During UFC 226, Cormier took the stage and called The Beast Incarnate out. Cormier took the mic and said, “Hey! Listen to DC. There is a guy that I know for a long time, he’s a wrestler, he’s an all-American, and he is a former UFC Champion. I never thought I would fight him, but Brock Lesnar, get your a** in here.” Lesnar then emerged from the crowd and entered the octagon and pushed Cormier away.

The duo were about to start a brawl but were controlled by the security and Joe Rogan. Cormier then said, “Yeah, you are strong, but everybody is strong. Push me now, you’re gonna sleep later.” The emergence of Cormier into WWE now has led to speculations about whether it is just the start to the buildup of the match between Lesnar and Cormier.
