During a recent interview with BT Sport, Paul Heyman revealed that he thinks a match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 is a bigger box office draw than a Roman Reigns vs. The Rock match. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On if Reigns will face the Rock in April: “This coming April? Not a chance. Number one, I would want to spend a lot more time on that storyline instead of rushing it. Five months. For something that enormous, I would want more time in it. Number two, I think Dwayne’s schedule for next year is in place and he’s not available. Even if he was, I don’t think it would be bigger box office at the moment, if you look at the trajectory right now, isn’t it Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns?”
On fans having seen Reigns vs. Lesnar before: “Did it end the storyline or did it make it more compelling and more intriguing? Or Big E? Or Drew McIntyre? I can certainly make the case for Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre as well. Is there a time and a place for Roman Reigns vs. The Rock? Absolutely. Is Hollywood the place to do it? Seems like a natural place for The Rock to main event his final main event at WrestleMania. I don’t think this coming April is the place for Roman Reigns vs. Dwayne Johnson.”
