Paul Heyman made his return to ECW Arena, now known as 2300 Arena in Philadelphia tonight for Evolve’s 10th Anniversary.
Heyman spoke to the crowd, and stated that he usually doesn’t do conventions or special appearances. He added that he wasn’t invited to the event, not because they didn’t want him, but because they knew he doesn’t do special appearances. Heyman said he personally asked to appear tonight, and wanted to announce the Title vs. Title match between Austin Theory and JD Drake.
