The Hardcore Legend Mick Foley was a guest 0n Busted Open Radio discussing the 20th anniversary of Hell In A Cell. In the conversation, the WWE Hall of Famer talks about his role as the Special Guest Referee in the WWE Universal Championship match between Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns.
Here’s a little excerpt from the interview where he believes that spots like this deserve to have a purpose:
“I think having superstars returning is a good thing in doses and in this case, this was in the works well before WWE came to see my [stand-up] special… I had the chance to participate in the 25th anniversary of Raw and I texted Mr. McMahon and said, ‘I appreciate it, but I feel like I have something to offer if you can wait until September so I can do something more impactful for the 20th anniversary of Hell In A Cell.’ And so this is a case where I have a definite role.”
"When that door shuts, all the focus will be on them…obviously I hope I get involved in some way." @RealMickFoley explains his role as special guest referee in @WWERomanReigns vs. @BraunStrowman at #HIAC, says this appearance has been in the works since #RAW25. pic.twitter.com/oK5Vc9pK4F
