Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez is pursing a possible return to the wrestling ring while he is out on bail on charges of attempted murder according to a tweet by Marc Raimondi of ESPN. The tweet says:
Per sources, Cain Velasquez’s team has been discussing since last week the possibility of him wrestling on the Lucha Libre AAA show next month in Arizona with the promotion. Still needs approval by the court to do so. But if he gets it, the expectation is he will perform Dec. 3

MMA Junkie is reporting that Velasques is currently under travel restrictions, and the prosecution has objected to his request, even though the wrestler’s legal team submitted that he would bear costs for police accompaniment on the trip. The final decision is expected to be made this Tuesday.
