Bret Hart is one of the all-time greats in the ring, but his treatment at the recent SummerSlam 2025 event left him feeling the cold shoulder. In a new interview at Vaughan Con, the first-ever three-time WWE Hall of Famer shared that WWE invited him to attend SummerSlam as part of the audience.

I went to SummerSlam. They invited me down this year for WWE and told me they wanted me to be in the crowd.

As the Hitman explained, when he arrived, he was told that the company didn't have a seat for him at the show. Bret also noted that while WWE couldn't acquire a seat for him, Kevin Nash was given a place to sit and enjoy the show.
