Paul Heyman: Brock Lesnar Vs. Roman Reigns Is A Bigger Box-Office Attraction Than The Rock Vs. Reigns
The Beast or The Great One? Either would make for a money match
Nov 19, 2021
Since Roman Reigns became the dominant Tribal Chief, fans have clamoured for him and cousin The Rock to clash, with only one possible stage for it; WrestleMania.
However, Reigns’ personal counsel Paul Heyman doesn’t see it happening any time soon, and as revealed to BT Sport’s Ariel Helwani, he believes Roman vs. Brock is the bigger attraction:
"This coming April? Not a chance," Heyman began. “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?"
Reigns and Lesnar have fought several times before, but Heyman isn’t phased by it:
"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."
