Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were among the many people in attendance to pay their respects to the late Jay Briscoe.
The late wrestler passed away earlier this month after being in a car accident minutes from his home in Laurel, Delaware.
The funeral was streamed on the Laurel School District YouTube channel on Sunday afternoon.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted Owens and Zayn flew out to Delaware right after working Saturday’s WWE Royal Rumble.
“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,” stated.
Meltzer noted that while there were plenty of wrestlers there, most of the people who attended the funeral were from the community.
