Tony Khan Confirms Bret Hart AEW Return Status

WWE

AEW President Tony Khan has confirmed Bret Hart’s AEW return status after various reports.

As previously mentioned, Bret Hart recently signed a merchandising deal with WWE that might keep him from returning to All Elite Wrestling.

Speaking with TSN, Tony Khan confirmed that the WWE Hall of Famer would not be returning to the company right now.

Khan said:

“Not right now. I think Bret himself said that,” Khan said of the seven-time world champion. “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.”

Hart has said that while he would love to return to AEW, he is “happy at home”, which you can read here.
