WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart is set to make his return on the upcoming edition of WWE RAW. The show is scheduled to take place at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary in Alberta, Canada. Bret Hart, who hails from Canada, is making a return to Monday Nights.
WWE has already announced a stacked card for the September 9 episode, which is billed as the “Season Premiere.” The show will include a four-way match to determine the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship, with Ilja Dragunov, Jey Uso, Pete Dunne, and Braun Strowman competing for the spot. Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair will also defend their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn.
The Wyatt Sicks will face American Made in a four-on-four Street Fight while Dominik Mysterio takes on Dragon Lee. Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Drew McIntyre will address last week’s events, where he brutally attacked CM Punk, leading to the latter being stretchered out of the arena.
With WWE filling the show with exciting matches and segments, Hall of Famer Bret Hart is also slated to appear. The latest reports have revealed the real reason for The Hitman’s appearance on the show.
Why is Bret Hart returning on WWE RAW?
According to PWInsider, WWE’s plans for Bret Hart’s return on WWE RAW may include a segment with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. While The Hitman is potentially set to interact with the Ring General, his appearance isn’t solely for that segment. Bret Hart’s return has a deeper significance beyond just a segment with Gunther.
Recent reports reveal the true reason for the WWE Hall of Famer’s appearance on the show. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reports in the Wrestling Observer Daily that Hart’s appearance will mark his final visit to the Saddledome for a wrestling event, as the arena is set to be torn down.
Last week on RAW, Sami Zayn confronted Gunther. Now, it remains to be seen if the potential segment between Gunther and Bret Hart will also include Zayn.
