Funk made a brief return to WWE in 2006, when he appeared on the May 15 episode of "Raw", confronting Mick Foley over the attack on Tommy Dreamer on the previous weeks episode of "Raw". At ECW One Night Stand, Funk would team with Dreamer and Beulah McGillicutty in a losing effort against Foley, Edge and Lita. Midway through the match, Foley injured Funk's left eye with barbed wire, and Funk was taken backstage. He later returned to the match (with a bloody cloth tied over his eye) to hit Foley with a flaming 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire.
