Bret Hart returned to WWE programming on this week’s RAW in Calgary. He was confronted by World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.
Gunther went on to mock The Hitman by saying that his favorite wrestler is Bill Goldberg and that Bret is #2 for him. You can watch it below:
Bret then showed support for fellow Canadian, Sami Zayn. When Gunther refused to accept Sami’s challenge for a World Title match, Bret called The Ring General a coward.

In an interview with WWE, Bret said the following about his return:
“I didn’t just assume or take for granted that they were going to invite me down tonight. Anytime I get a chance to be in front of the Calgary fans, because I think Calgary fans go back the furthest when I was 18-19. It’s a very special and powerful building for me to walk in.
A lot of great memories here, a lot of title matches. Even in the old Stampede Wrestling days, a lot of memories here. It’s kind of a funny feeling to walk down the ring slowly and kind of pull yourself back into the ring and find yourself standing in the center of it and talking to the fans.
I don’t know if I looked a little nervous because I’m not sure that I was. Standing in the middle of the ring there for a few seconds, this transformation takes place. I think I transformed back in Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart for a minute for everyone. It was fun for me to do that. It was something that was magical that was brought out by the love of the fans.
There’s not that many from my generation that are around anymore. Running into Triple H is always a pleasure.”
