Triple H Shares Backstage Moment With WWE Legend After WWE RAW Appearance on September 9

WWE’s September 9 episode of Monday Night RAW, held in Calgary, Alberta, offered an action-packed night that left fans buzzing with excitement. Among the night's biggest surprises was the return of WWE Hall of Famer Bret "The Hitman" Hart, whose rare hometown appearance brought the crowd to its feet. Known as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Hart's presence alone electrified the atmosphere in the arena, creating a truly memorable moment for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Bret Hart’s return was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. The reaction from the crowd was nothing short of incredible, as many fans had come specifically in hopes of seeing the legendary "Excellence of Execution" in person. Their anticipation was met with loud chants and cheers when Hart made his way to the ring, clearly enjoying the admiration and love from the passionate Calgary audience. This overwhelming reception set the tone for the entire segment, as the energy in the building was palpable.

As Bret Hart took the mic, he expressed his immense pride in being not just a champion, but more importantly, a Canadian champion. He went on to emphasize the resilience and toughness that Canadian wrestlers are known for, a sentiment that resonated deeply with the local crowd. His words further endeared him to his fans, reinforcing the legacy that has made him such a beloved figure in WWE history. Just as the celebration was ramping up, World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER made his entrance, interrupting the festivities.
GUNTHER, while acknowledging Hart's legendary status, decided to provoke the crowd by revealing that his favorite Canadian wrestler was none other than Goldberg—a known rival of Hart. The comment stirred the fans, adding a tense atmosphere to the proceedings. Before the situation could escalate, Sami Zayn entered the ring, stepping up to challenge GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship, thereby shifting the focus of the show and heightening the drama.

Later, in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque greeted Bret Hart backstage, where the two shared a heartfelt moment. Triple H thanked Hart for appearing on RAW and acknowledged Calgary’s special place in WWE history. “Calgary is and always will be Hart Country. Thanks for stopping by #WWERaw, @BretHart,” Levesque tweeted, cementing the importance of Hart’s return.
Bret Hart’s appearance was a significant moment leading up to WWE’s Survivor Series event in Vancouver this November. Fans are now left speculating whether this might be the beginning of more frequent appearances by Hart on WWE programming, with many hoping to see the Hall of Famer return for future events.
