Bret Hart’s Emotional Hometown Appearance on WWE Raw Leads to Tense Confrontation with GUNTHER

Bret Hart made a special appearance on WWE Raw in his hometown of Calgary, Canada, despite feeling under the weather. The event at the Scotiabank Saddledome may have been his last opportunity to perform in front of his local fans. During the segment, Hart confronted WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER for refusing to wrestle fellow Canadian Sami Zayn, leading to a tense exchange before Zayn intervened to protect Hart.

Tommy Dreamer, reviewing the segment on “Busted Open After Dark,” praised GUNTHER’s performance as a heel against the legendary Hart. Dreamer commended GUNTHER’s ability to build up Hart while simultaneously asserting his own superiority, calling it “pure brilliance.” He also appreciated WWE’s decision to allow GUNTHER to push boundaries for maximum crowd reaction. However, Dreamer was particularly surprised by GUNTHER’s unexpected claim that his favorite wrestler was Goldberg, a statement that caught even the veteran Dreamer off guard.
