Velasquez has been arrested and charged with attempted murder, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2022\/03\/01\/ufc-legend-cain-velasquez-arrested-booked-attempted-murder-charge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMZ.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Velasquez has a court date scheduled for Wednesday. The details regarding the shooting and the victim are sketchy at this point. Velasquez defeated Brock Lesnar to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship in 2010. He had his last UFC fight in 2019, then worked two matches for AAA and two more matches for WWE later that year. He returned to the ring for a AAA tag match in 2021.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-1465959027\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,9,2,4],"tags":[399,107,1062,667,498,101],"class_list":["post-106545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-misc_news","category-mma_ufc_news","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-aaa","tag-brock-lesnar","tag-cain-velasquez","tag-mma","tag-ufc","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
