Bret Hart ended up being confronted by the World Champion on Raw.
Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore introduced Hart to the Calgary crowd. He said was proud to be a Canadian World Champion. That brought out the current World Champion, Gunther, who called Hart one of his childhood heroes. Gunther then revealed that Hart was a close second to his favorite wrestler growing up: Goldberg.
That brought out Sami Zayn, wearing a Johnny Gaudreau jersey. Zayn told Gunther that he had a lot of nerve talking to Hart in that manner, calling him a Canadian hero. Zayn then challenged Gunther again to a title match. Gunther responded by leaving but was stopped by Hart who called Gunther a yellow, gutless coward. Gunther started to head to the ring again but was stopped by Zayn, who attacked him on the outside. Officials eventually broke up the altercation as the segment ended with Zayn raising Hart’s hand.
