WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman responds to Braun Strowman insult
WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman has issued a response to a post from former WWE talent Braun Strowman where Strowman called him “Oswald Cobblepot.”
Strowman’s post on Monday came in response to a line from a Heyman promo on Monday’s Raw where Heyman said that no one but The Vision had ever forced Roman Reigns to do a stretcher job before.
Strowman posted an image of an angle where Reigns was stretchered out at the hands of Strowman, then Strowman tipped the stretcher over:
Strowman wrote: yea ok Oswald Cobblepot!!
Oswald Cobblepot is the name of The Penguin character in Batman lore and the HBO Max show The Penguin.
Heyman responded in an Instagram story on Wednesday writing:
Dear Mr. Strowman,
Your post was brought to my attention. I have nothing negative to say about you, nor to you sir.
In fact, I am actually relieved and indeed celebratory to learn you’re still alive, something most of us didn’t realize and even fewer cared about.
With Love and Respect,
Paul Heyman
The root of the social media beef between Heyman and Strowman may stem from the post-WrestleMania 41 edition of The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN where Heyman relayed a story that Strowman had approached him crying because he was not part of the WrestleMania card, with Heyman saying that he told Strowman “that he sucks” and that’s why he was left off the show.
Strowman’s WWE contract expired this past July as the company elected not to renew his deal, ending his second tenure with the company.
