Daniel Cormier Reveals He Was Offered A Role On WWE Backstage

UFC legend, Daniel Cormier revealed that he was actually offered a role as part of the WWE Backstage show, as he continues to try work with WWE.

Cormier was speaking with BT Sport, where WWE will soon be heading in the U.K., and he revealed he was invited to be part of the show:

“I got an offer to work that new show, WWE Backstage on [FS1]. Obviously, it didn’t work with the new relationship with [UFC and] ESPN. But we are constantly trying to get me involved in the product. As a big time fan of the WWE, nothing makes me happier. I’ve got some great opportunities, man. I’m lucky. I’ve got some things outside of the octagon that’s gonna carry me for a long time.”

That wasn’t the only offer WWE made either, as the company actually wanted him to be part of the promotion for Brock Lesnar’s match with Cain Velasquez.

“I’ve talked with the WWE on a number of occasions, they want to work together,” Cormier said. “I almost came to the press conference for Brock [Lesnar] vs. Cain [Velasquez] to play the role of a fight builder. Unfortunately, my scheduled didn’t work.

. @btsportwwe
It's easy to garner publicity calling out the top box office attraction. @dc_mma can't hang w/ @BrockLesnar in the #Brocktagon nor a @WWE ring, and he can't hang with me on the mic. MAYBE he could TRY to hang with Brock on the mic and me in the ring … MAYBE!!! https://t.co/3eMzMQYzXa
