Daniel Cormier is not ruling out any future appearances for WWE but insists nothing is scheduled.

Speaking with The Associated Press after his appearance as special referee for the Fight Pit at Extreme Rules, Cormier was asked about the potential of a match with Brock Lesnar:

I’ve been retired for a couple of years and I look like it. But I’d have to get in shape if I ever want to do something like that. The door is not closed on anything right now in my life.

Cormier and Lesnar flirted with the idea of fighting in 2018 after the two-time Olympian became the UFC heavyweight champion and was confronted by Lesnar inside the octagon.

The fight never materialized and Lesnar has not competed since a one-off fight with Mark Hunt at UFC 200 in July 2016.

Cormier retired from the UFC after his third fight with Stipe Miocic and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame this past summer.

After being a lifelong professional wrestling fan, Cormier was named the special referee for Saturday’s Fight Pit match between Matt Riddle and Seth Rollins which ended with Riddle submitting Rollins with a triangle submission.
