A UFC Hall of Famer has provided an update on their WWE future.
UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier will make his WWE debut, serving as a special guest referee for the Fight Pit Match between Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle at Extreme Rules on October 8.
Speaking with ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, Cormier provided an update on his future with WWE and status after Extreme Rules.
He said:
“As of right now, it’s a one-time thing. We’ll see how it goes this weekend and we’ll try to go forward from there, but I don’t know man. I wanna feel the energy, I wanna feel the arena and see. You never know what the future holds. I’m not a guy that puts limits and that puts — I’m not not open to things. So, maybe it does lead to something bigger, but right now, all eyes are on Extreme Rules and doing the best job I can in order to ensure that this is a fair fight, because I don’t want no cheating.”
Daniel Cormier retired from the UFC in 2020 before assuming the role of color commentator for the promotion.
As previously noted, Cormier also revealed who approached him about the appearance at Extreme Rules in the same interview.
