Bret Hart is one of the most famous wrestlers of all time and is one of the original technicians of the game.
In recent months, there have been reports that Bret may be on his way to AEW – appearing on screen that is. FTR and CM Punk have both had references in their gear to ‘The Hitman’ but it was thought by AEW officials that Bret would not be allowed to appear on AEW television, but Bret has confirmed this is not the case through the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
“Bret Hart said that his only deal with WWE is a merchandising deal and not any other deal. AEW was under the impression he could not appear for them due to his deal with WWE. We don’t have it clear whether Hart could legally appear on an AEW broadcast or not, past AEW believed he was not legally available to them. It would make sense for him to be in Las Vegas for the Owen Hart tournament finals, but as we noted, as of last week it didn’t appear that was going to be the case. Dr. Martha Hart obviously can and will be at that show.”

Bret has appeared in AEW before when he revealed the AEW World Title at Double Or Nothing in 2019. Now that it has been revealed that Bret can appear on AEW Tv, hopefully we get to see him managing FTR or being involved in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament.
