At WWE Crown Jewel yesterday, Brock Lesnar defeated Cain Velasquez and Tyson Fury defeated Braun Strowman. However, according to the The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the original plan in WWE was for Lesnar and Fury to be the ones to face off. Fury also said this during a previous interview.

The idea was eventually changed when WWE was able to sign Velasquez. The idea was discussed but reportedly never went beyond early talks. Velasquez had the built-in story with Lesnar and was a bigger star in the US.
