September 6th 2024.
It's official – WWE Hall of Famer Bret 'The Hitman' Hart will be making a rare appearance on next week's episode of Monday Night Raw. The former world champion, now 67, will be back in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta, Canada as WWE rolls into town. This marks his first time on the red brand in almost ten years, making it a highly anticipated moment for fans.
In a video shared by fellow Canadian Jackie Redmond, who is a backstage interviewer and panelist for the company, she excitedly confirms that the legendary wrestler will be part of the show. She begins by thanking fans for enjoying the beautiful summer and then gets straight to the big news. Bret 'The Hitman' Hart himself will be at the Saddledome in Calgary on the season premiere of Monday Night Raw. It's a moment that fans have been waiting for and it's finally happening.
WWE boss Triple H, also known as Paul Levesque, retweeted the clip and encouraged fans not to miss this special appearance. And with good reason – Bret hasn't been seen on Raw since 2015, but he has made occasional appearances at other WWE events. Most recently, he was spotted in the crowd during 2022's Clash At The Castle in Cardiff, Wales. And three years prior, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2019.
Unfortunately, the ceremony took a terrifying turn when a man in the crowd jumped into the ring and tackled The Hitman. But thanks to the quick reactions of fellow wrestlers, the situation was brought under control. Wrestlers including Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood, Braun Strowman, Big Show, Drake Maverick, and Bret's nephew Davey Boy Smith Jr all stepped in to subdue the man. After being led out by security, Bret and his niece Natalya continued their speech and the wrestling legend even appeared at WrestleMania 35 the following night. WWE later released a statement explaining that an over-exuberant fan had managed to get past security and into the ring.
One of Bret's most infamous moments in WWE is known as the Montreal Screwjob at Survivor Series 1997. During this event, then-boss Vince McMahon changed the script and awarded Shawn Michaels the WWF Championship instead of Bret, who was supposed to be the winner. It's a moment that has gone down in history and has been talked about for years.
But now, it looks like the Canadian hero is ready to make his return to WWE. He has also been interviewed for Netflix's upcoming documentary series, Mr. McMahon. The six-part series covers the transformation of WWE from a small, regional business into a global entertainment powerhouse, as well as the explosive sexual misconduct allegations that led to Vince McMahon's eventual resignation. The trailer for the series was released this week and features interviews with the likes of John Cena, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, and of course, Bret himself.
It's an exciting time for fans of Bret Hart as he makes his return to WWE and will also be featured in the highly anticipated Mr. McMahon documentary.
