Paul Heyman took some jabs at Tommy Dreamer during this week’s episode of WWE RAW.
In the night’s main event, Jey Uso was set to battle Bron Breakker, but Heyman raised the stakes as Jey tried to verbally cut Breakker down.
With RAW emanating from Philadelphia, Heyman name-dropped legends like The Sandman, New Jack, Rob Van Dam, and the late Sabu. He stated,
“In the name of the late, great Tommy Dreamer… yeah, I know he’s not dead yet, but he should be.”
Breakker chimed in with, “He’s still alive?” prompting Heyman to respond, “Yeah, unfortunately.”
