Triple H has shown just how happy he was to welcome Bret Hart back to WWE after The Hitman’s appearance on Monday Night Raw.

Raw took place in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, a city synonymous with the legendary Hart family so it was only fitting that five-time WWE Champion Bret Hart made his return there. The Hitman was welcomed by announcers Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett and Hart told the crowd how proud he was to have been a Canadian world champion. But an Austrian world champion was listening.

Gunther came to the ring to confront Hart and trolled The Hitman with a jab over his hated rival Goldberg. Knowing just how deep that jab might have cut Hart given his never-ending disdain for Goldberg, Sami Zayn made his way to the ring to take Gunther to task. Sami Zayn issued another challenge for the World Heavyweight Title but Gunther walked away which led to Hart calling him a yellow, gutless coward.

Gunther made his way back to the ring upon hearing this but was attacked by Zayn before officials broke up the altercation. Bret Hart had his hand raised by Sami Zayn as the two Canadian icons took in the love from their compatriots in the Saddledome.

Triple H Pays Tribute To Bret Hart

After the segment, Triple H took to social media to share a video of him welcoming Bret Hart backstage and noted that Calgary, Alberta, Canada will always be Hart country.

Back in 1997, it seems Triple H told Shawn Michaels not to lose to Bret Hart at Survivor Series which led to the Montreal Screwjob and The Hitman staying clear of WWE until his induction into the Hall of Fame in 2006.
