Braun Strowman doesn’t understand Paul Heyman’s issue with him.
Paul Heyman and Adam Scherr (aka Braun Strowman) got into a little back-and-forth last month. To recall, Paul Heyman was trying to put over his client Bronson Reed by proclaiming that no other superstar had made Reigns exit on a stretcher. Now that was an obvious lie. There are several instances where Reigns was stretchered out and some them are because of the former WWE Universal Champion.
The man formerly known as Braun Strowman didn’t take kindly to WWE’s latest attempt at revisionist history and pointed out the times that he had sent out Roman on a stretcher.
That post caught Heyman’s attention and he fired some pretty nasty shots at the 42-year-old.
Strowman responded with an advertisement for his new show on the USA Network. It was certainly a sick burn from the WWE Hall of Famer, but the former WWE star handled himself well. Scherr was on the latest episode of TMZ’s Inside The Ring and talked about his brief back-and-forth with Paul Heyman.
“I gotta stop you right there. I keep getting this tweeting with Paul Heyman. I never even talked about Paul or acknowledged Paul. I don’t know why he got so upset and came at me… Especially because he gets to see my face every commercial break on SmackDown, and let’s be for real, if anybody knows about me having a show about ordering everything on the menu, you think Paul would know.
I have no idea (why Heyman wrote what he did about me). I guess I struck a nerve or something. I don’t know. I didn’t deliberately, intentionally mean to talk to him or any of that stuff. I don’t know what’s going on, and maybe he’s just sensitive or something or maybe he misses me. That’s probably what it is. I think the ratings are struggling a little bit and they realize that when The Monster’s on TV, he draws ratings so who knows?”
Scherr did insult Heyman by calling him Oswald Cobblepot, but technically he didn’t say Paul Heyman’s name so he is correct. Maybe Heyman will respond to Adam’s latest comments though he’s probably focused on righting the wrongs of Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker not being in the battle royal this past Monday.
