Daniel Cormier is set to make his WWE debut as a special guest referee on the pro wrestling promotion’s Extreme Rules event<\/a> on October 8th. That’s led many fans to speculate as to whether this could just be the first of many appearances for ‘DC’ in the squared circle.<\/p>\n

Cormier has had offers in the past to participate in other angles with wrestlers like former NXT tag team champions the Creed Brothers. But working as a ref for the ‘Fight Pit’ match<\/a> between Seth Rollins and former UFC fighter Matt Riddle on a high profile card just made sense.<\/p>\n

And what would also make sense? A Daniel Cormier vs. Brock Lesnar match. Cormier and Lesnar famously faced off in the octagon in 2018, with Lesnar shoving Cormier<\/a> across the cage. A UFC fight never materialized, and ESPN’s Marc Raimondi asked ‘DC’ whether the two could finally settle their beef in the WWE.<\/p>\n

“This [ref gig] is honestly very good for me because people start to talk,” Cormier replied. “People start talking going, ‘Oh my goodness, I remember when him and Brock were in the octagon, supposed to fight.’ So, it makes a lot of sense, but as you know, just because something makes sense, it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. So no, there is no talk of me fighting Brock Lesnar.”<\/p>\n
