Brian Fritz of Sporting News recently spoke with Paul Heyman who talked about why Hell in a Cell is the right time to blow off the Taker/Lesnar feud as opposed to WrestleMania. See what he had to say below.
“Because now’s the time,” Heyman said. “This is where there’s tremendous public interest in it and it’s the right match to do. I don’t think we should hold off Hell in a Cell until WrestleMania. I think Brock Lesnar versus The Undertaker in their final conflict — in what is sure to be the final time these two ever step into the ring against each other — and I think that should happen now. I don’t think waiting until WrestleMania would be, to borrow the phrase, “best for business” and I think the heightened public interest coming off of what happened at SummerSlam and the reaction from the public after we told our story the next night on Raw, I think now’s the time to capitalize on it and to exploit the public interest and present the match now.
