Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens both attended Jay Briscoe’s funeral after being involved in the main event at WWE Royal Rumble on January 28.
Having completed the main event at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, it has been reported that the pair flew out to Delaware right after the event.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated:
“There were so many people who came in from all over the country.
“I mean, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn flew in from the Royal Rumble. Straight there.
“They were out, when did the Rumble end? Eastern time, that Rumble ended after midnight right? It ended at 12:20 [AM] Eastern, they were in San Antonio, they were in Delaware, which probably doesn’t have an international airport so you’re probably flying in there for something that started at 1.”
Jay Briscoe passed away at the age of 38 on January 17 in Laurel, Delaware.
The funeral for the real-life Jamin Pugh was held on January 29 with stars from across the wrestling world in attendance.
A 10-bell salute was held at the funeral, with WWE’s Roderick Strong and AEW’s Jay Lethal assisting ROH commentator Caprice Coleman.
