#2 The Rock N' Roll Express have appeared in AEW
Trending
The WWE Hall of Fame tag team showed up on AEW Dynamite in October 2019 to crown the inaugural AEW World Tag Team Champions. AEW had chosen one of the best tag teams in the history of pro-wrestling to do the honors. Sadly, they were ambushed by Proud n Powerful, with Ricky Morton being put through the stage.
The tag team returned a week later to the Full Gear pay-per-view, attempting to get revenge on Santana and Ortiz. This resulted in Morton delivering a Canadian Destroyer to Santana. Yes, a Canadian Destroyer. The Rock n' Roll Express returned again a year later involved in a Tag Team Appreciation night. They were once again attacked, this time by FTR with Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard.
#1 Bret Hart has appeared in AEW
Bret 'The Hitman' Hart made a shocking appearance for AEW at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in 2019. The company brought Hart in to unveil the new AEW World Championship and crown the inaugural champion. The move was done to help legitimize the championship by bringing in a legend of the industry.
During the unveiling, Bret was interrupted by MJF, who cut a heated promo on 'The Hitman'. Maxwell Jacob Friedman spoke with Wrestling Inc. about the appearance and whether his promo was unscripted:
"Everything that comes out of my mouth is 110 percent authentic. That’s the difference between me and these losers who try to be confident and try to be anywhere near as good as me. I’m never gonna have some schmuck writer walk up to me and be like, ‘Oh, MJF I had this idea.’ No! I would rip the paper up, chew on it and spit it in his face. I don’t need help being me because I am the only me. There will never be anyone like me ever again." MJF said. (h/t Wrestling Inc.)
This was Bret Hart's one and only appearance for AEW. He did appear for WWE just a couple of months later. He appeared on SummerSlam pay-per-view in a backstage segment wishing Seth Rollins good luck in his Universal Championship match.
