Backstage Notes From WWE Raw, Bret Hart Under the Weather Before the Show
– Fightful Select has some additional backstage notes from last night’s edition of WWE Raw in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Hall of Famer Bret Hart made an appearance on last night’s WWE Raw. Hart reportedly was under the weather yesterday, and it was unknown if he’d still be well enough to do his segment until shortly before the show started. Bret Hart was reportedly doing well when WWE Raw started last night.
– Hart’s niece, Natalya, also made her WWE TV and in-ring return for the first time since June last night. Fightful notes that she was backstage for the first time since she signed her new WWE contract. It was the first time she missed more than two-plus months of her career. Additionally, WWE didn’t try to hide Natalya throughout the day, and multiple members of the Hart family were in attendance.
– Fightful is also reporting that Raw will be moving back to three hours with the upcoming Netflix move on January 5, 2025. Dave Meltzer first reported the news earlier on Wrestling Observer Radio. Fightful also notes that WWE sources would not confirm if SmackDown will be two hours or three hours moving forward on USA Network.
– Lastly, WWE senior writer Alexandra Williams reportedly wrote the segment with Drew McIntyre, Wade Barrett, and Adam Pearce. She previously appeared in a backstage segment with Stephanie McMahon during the WWE Draft edition of Monday Night Raw earlier this year.
