Bret Hart’s Relationship With All Elite
In 2019, the HOFer made an appearance on AEW’s first-ever pay-per-view (PPV), Double or Nothing. It was then that he presented the first AEW World Title.
However, he has yet to participate in any other AEW events since. Still, in 2022, the company did launch the Owen Hart Tournaments, which pays tribute to the Hitman’s late younger brother.
