Cain Velasquez Has Not Yet Signed WWE Contract, Backstage News On Surprise Appearance

Cain Velasquez has not officially signed a contract with WWE, according to Marc Raimondi. The two sides are getting close.

Velasquez’s appearance on tonight’s episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown came together over the last 24 hours or so. The UFC was aware of the appearance and approved it before he appeared live on FOX.
