In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley revealed that his appearance at this Sunday’s WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, where he will be the Special Guest Referee for the WWE Universal Championship Match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman has been planned for months.
“This was well in the works before WWE came to see my special. I had the chance to participate in the 25th anniversary of Raw and I texted Mr. McMahon. I said: ‘I appreciate it, but I just feel like I have something to offer if you are willing to wait until September. I feel like I can do something more impactful for the 20th anniversary of Hell in a Cell.’ So this is a case where I have definite role, it’s not just a matter of throwing guys out there.”
"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
