The news of them facing each other had started to gather heat and Cormier opened up on the same. Daniel Cormier was in an interview with ESPN where he spoke about various things about his career and his future plans. On his rumoured feud with Lesnar, he said, “I’ve not heard anything.”

He recalled the time when he was about to face Lesnar in the octagon and said, “Just because something makes sense, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen. So, no, there is no talk of me fighting Brock Lesnar.”

The entire wrestling fan community wanted Cormier vs Lesnar to happen but it could never take place in the octagon. Even the superstars themselves feel that the spark had only started which never turned into fire. In the words of Daniel Cormier, “It was like a year-build with no WrestleMania match.”

WWE has introduced Cormier in the company in a very clever manner. There is a high chance that the rumours turn out to be true in the near future. The WWE Universe must now get used to these kind of alluring rumours.
