The much-hyped debut of Cain Velasquez in the WWE has slowed down a bit since Crown Jewel as he suffered a massive loss at the hands of the beast incarnate.
It was a WWE Championship between Velasquez and Brock Lesnar that ended in favor of the latter one. Plus the match turned out to be completely one-sided as Lesnar forced Velasquez to tap out under just three minutes.
Reason Why Brock Lesnar Vs. Cain Velasquez Was Short At WWE Crown Jewel
The squash match was definitely not helpful to build a strong image of Cain Velasquez for the WWE audience. So the creative team took the right decision to put him away from in-ring competition for an indefinite timespan.
They officially did not announce when the former UFC Heavyweight Champion could make a comeback to the pro-wrestling ring.
Now, Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted on this topic to inform Cain Velasquez is reportedly booked for the WWE Royal Rumble PPV.

As of now, chances are really high that WWE may end up booking Cain Velasquez against Brock Lesnar in a rubber match at Royal Rumble. Cain has the first victory at UFC whereas Lesnar settled the score at Crown Jewel.
