The ongoing tension between Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman just got an unexpected twist, thanks to a sharp comment from former WWE star Braun Strowman. With the WWE on the road to the Australian Street Fight at Crown Jewel, Paul Heyman has kept Reigns on the receiving end of his verbal insults. When advertising the event, Heyman used the incident at the Clash in Paris, where Bronson Reed had walked out of the arena, leaving Reigns stretchered and battered.

According to Heyman, Reigns had never been beaten as badly in his career as he required being carried out on a stretcher. It’s a fact not well received by the person who recalled that, indeed, it was not the case.

The tweet contained some pictures of the notorious backstage attack by Strowman on Roman Reigns in the WWE Raw in April 2017. Fans still remember that incident as one of the most ferocious assaults in recent history.

The fans will not forget about that 2017 attack so easily, as Strowman ran over Reigns backstage and gave him a brutal beating. Medical staff had just finished loading a badly beaten Reigns onto a stretcher. But in the end, Strowman still didn’t stop. He stormed into the ambulance and went on with the attack inside, and threw the whole vehicle in the air in an unbelievable show of force.

It was among the highlight points of the career of Strowman. It is evident that the fans of WWE still remember it. Strowman, in his reply, has likened Heyman to Oswald Cobblepot, popularly referred to as The Penguin. A scammer and a schemer in the Batman universe. The punch was both funny and stinging, fitting the character of Strowman as a brash person.
