Hell in a Cell ended with one of the worst main event finishes in recent memory and the fans were unsurprisingly quite vocal about their displeasure.

Tom Colohue and Korey Gunz discussed the angle on the latest edition of Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions. Tom Colohue revealed that Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon had an uneasy conversation during a production meeting on RAW while trying to figure out the future of the Seth Rollins/Bray Wyatt storyline.

Colohue said:

“Paul Heyman, in charge of RAW, was obviously in a production meeting with Vince McMahon, in which they were deciding how RAW was going to go. They laid out earlier that they would work on it from there. Paul Heyman was not happy with that situation. I don’t think Vince McMahon was very happy with that situation as a result.”
“We will see in the coming weeks about that one [if Wyatt stays on RAW or moves to SmackDown in the draft], but I know it was a tense moment in the production meeting where they just had to have that discussion [how to book Rollins and Wyatt], clear the air a little bit and decide where they’re going next. I don’t think not mentioning it was the right way, personally.”

#4. The brains behind the Tyson Fury-Braun Strowman segment

During the same episode of Sportskeeda's Dropkick DiSKussions, Tom Colohue also revealed the planning that went into the chaotic RAW segment between Braun Strowman and Tyson Fury.

Colohue revealed that Paul Heyman had planned the segment in advance while Vince McMahon too had a role to play on how the brawl went down.

“I know Heyman had already planned out how he was going to do the Braun Strowman and Tyson Fury segment. Vince was involved in that as well.”

Colohue added that Natalya and Lacey Evans were given more time to work with as the company made a late call to not address the Universal title match from Hell in a Cell and its fallout on RAW.
