Cain Velasquez was announced as participating in AAA’s TripleMania event taking place this summer. The promotion introduced the former UFC Heavyweight champion at a recent press conference. TripleMania XXVII takes place August 3rd, 2019 from Mexico City, Mexico.

According to a recent report from the Wrestling Observer, Velasquez won’t be wrestling a single’s match on the card and is likely being brought in to increase casual fan interest for TV Azteca.

“It looks like it’ll be a tag or a trios match that he’s involved in,” wrote Dave Meltzer.

“Right now it’s a one-show deal. He is expecting to fight (MMA) on a 9/21 show in Mexico City, but with his last loss and injury, that may change. If it does he may do a second date this year,” Meltzer continued.

Cain lost his last fight to Francis Ngannou in February. He has fought sparingly due to injuries since dropping the UFC heavyweight championship to Fabricio Werdum at UFC 188. His previous fight before Ngannou was a victory over Travis Browne in the summer of 2016.

Velasquez previously expressed interest in joining WWE as well. Earlier this year, he listed his chances of going to the promotion at approximately 70%.
