Tony Khan has never been one to build up false hype for AEW programming. He prides himself on being honest with the fans, and setting proper expectations. This is no exception when it comes to recent rumours of Bret Hart showing up in AEW. For months now, there has been speculation on Hart coming in to manage FTR – but fans should not expect Hart to show up at this time.
Tony Khan Says To Not Expect Bret Hart Tonight
While speaking to TSN, Tony Khan would shut down any rumours about Bret Hart even potentially showing up on AEW Dynamite.
“Not right now. I think Bret himself said that. First of all, we have a great respect for Bret Hart as a company and as individuals. A lot of the wrestlers here and myself respect Bret Hart as a great person and a great wrestler. He would always be somebody we would treasure whenever he’s around. He was involved in the first Double or Nothing in 2019, when he unveiled the AEW World Championship for the first time. He said he’s happy at home right now.
It’s a great thing he’s got going and we’ve just got so much respect for Bret Hart. It’s an honor to pay respect to Bret Hart and, of course, and it’s something that Dax and Cash and CM Punk in particular have bonded over and had great matches with each other and with other people along the way – Dustin Rhodes had a great match with CM Punk, also, that I think reminded some people of the matches he had himself with Bret in the past. Now there’s opportunities ahead for big matches with all of those people.”
What To Expect From AEW Dynamite Tonight
What fans can expect tonight on AEW Dynamite is a handful of matches in the Owen Hart Memorial Cup. Adam Cole will take on Dax Harwood, Darby Allin faces Jeff Hardy, and Toni Storm clashes with Jamie Hayter. The FTW Championship is on the line as Ricky Starks defends against Jungle Boy.
