As if the SummerSlam match between The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar needed more hype, Paul Heyman has called Sunday's battle "too big for WrestleMania."
"The Beast" and "The Demon from Death Valley" will go head-to-head in a WrestleMania XXX rematch live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn this Sunday night. Heyman, the advocate for Lesnar, believes SummerSlam in New York City is the only place this rematch of epic proportions could occur.

"I said on TV this is the match that's too big for WrestleMania, and I meant it," Heyman told Fox Sports. "I really, really meant it. There is no description to point out how big this match truly is because no one ever thought they'd ever see a return match between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker. The unfortunate part about this is, I don't know how many times you're going to get to see the Undertaker after this match because he's going to get his ass kicked again. He's going to get beat up and he's going to get beat."
Lesnar is the man who ended The Streak of The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX in New Orleans the last time they clashed. "The Deadman" came into the match with a 21-0 unbeaten streak at the "Show of Shows," but he ended up falling in one of the most shocking booking decisions in WWE history.

Heyman's comments are a bit curious since there is nothing bigger in the wrestling industry than WrestleMania, but he is one of the greatest hype men in the industry. The former ECW promoter is trying to paint SummerSlam as the greatest event ever. With it being the second biggest event of the year and emanating from the Big Apple, it'll be a memorable night in sports entertainment.
There is no word on what the future holds for The Undertaker, but there was a lot of speculation that his career was winding down after he was legitimately injured in his first loss to Lesnar.
It seems as though The Undertaker is built up to win his rematch with Lesnar to avenge losing The Streak. On the other hand, the WWE has built "The Beast" up as larger than life, so it wouldn't be shocking if he got one over again on the seven-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
One thing that is certain is that Heyman will have the time of his life at Barclays Center on Sunday.
"I can honestly say this is probably the most fun I've ever had because it is the easiest gig I've ever had," he said. "All I have to do is brag about someone for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration - the most legitimate, authentic athlete in the history of WWE. It's a really easy gig for me."
