Henry Cejudo is down with following in Ronda Rousey and Cain Velasquez’s footsteps into WWE after he retired from the UFC, leading to a joke by CM Punk. Cejudo announced his retirement after he defended his title against Dominick Cruz at Saturday night’s UFC 249. In a post-fight press conference, Cejudo was asked about the possibility of a WWE run and said (per Fightful) that he would be interested.

“I would love to do an appearance,” said Cejudo. “But the stuff they do in WWE, s**t, I would love to beat up on Rey Mysterio. He can bend the knee too. And Kurt Angle.”

The comment caught the attention of CM Punk, himself a UFC alumnus, who joked that Vince McMahon will put Cejudo on Raw on Monday and name him “The Corona Kid”:
