10 Wrestlers Who Had One Match In WWE

8. Cain Velasquez

The road from MMA to pro wrestling is becoming an increasingly popular one for athletes to take, and WWE seems more willing than ever to give those with shoot fighting experience a chance in sports entertainment. 

And it's easy to see why WWE gave UFC legend Cain Velasquez a shot, especially after he impressed during his appearances for Mexico's AAA promotion. 

Signed in late 2019, Cain was put into a feud with WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, a man he had beaten for real in the Octagon nine years prior. 

Kicking off the Crown Jewel pay-per-view/WWE Network special, their short WWE Title bout was the very definition of an 'attraction', booked on the same show that boxing sensation Tyson Fury met Braun Strowman. 

The match was over before it really got a chance to begin, with The Beast Incarnate retaining despite interference from Rey Mysterio. 

Velasquez would have one more match, tagging with Humberto Carillo to beat The OC at a non-televised live event in Mexico a month later. He was released in April 2020, due to budget cuts owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
