Meanwhile, Tommy Dreamer is best known for his Hardcore Matches in ECW, besides also having competed in the WWE.
The heart of the matter
Ronda Rousey was involved in a segment alongside Kurt Angle, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon on this week’s edition of Monday Night RAW. Rousey & Angle got into a physical altercation with McMahon & Triple H respectively; with Rousey ending up flooring McMahon with a Samoan Drop.
